CT SCAN FINAL RESULTS

On Friday, May 26, Dave went to see his oncologist and to pick up his meds for a new cycle of chemo. We were not expecting to hear anymore about his scan. We were thankful and happy of having the disease stabilized so we just went on living a normal life as much as we could, doing the things he loves most, FISHING! We were ready for another cycle of Gemzar, Taxotere and Xeloda and start a new fight.

GOD IS GOOD! He gives us blessings when least expected. More findings, "Within the lungs, there is significant improvement in previously noted air space consolidations. There is no focal infiltrate, mass, or effusion on today's exam. There are tiny posterior pleural nodes which is likely represent residual inflammation/scar. Biliary stent in place and unchanged".

We thank you so much for all your prayers and please continue praying that Dave will have the strength, physically and mentally, for another cycle of chemo.

Dear Hoskins-

So glad to hear your good news!

Hope the next chemo works well and causes as little side effects as possible.

Sincerely,
Caroline Stoufer
