More good news
While it's not complete closure to my treatment protocol, it continues to go in the direction we want. NIH did CT scans, MRI's and blood chemistries this week. The blood levels were exactly where they want them. The 8 lower tumors are gone. There are two that remain, but they have lost their definition and thickness, meaning the tumors are deteriorating and have gotten another 40-50% smaller and thinner from last month. The last two tumors are no longer attached to the underlying tissue. So let's re-cap the issues: The other 8 have dissappeared completely, the last 2 are getting much smaller both in width and depth, the exterior of those is breaking down, my energy level is coming back at a realatively high level, and my weight has come back to about 85-90% of what it was before treatment. I think, and more importantly the Dr's think this is now under control. The pain level on the vast majority of days is well under control. It's just going to take a little longer. Now I'm OK with this. Chris

You both look great and it's great to see your wellness reflected in writing too. Shoot, I guess it's even great if Molly gets an even larger Harley to keep up with your bike (I may retract this "great" at a later date, I've got to think about little Molly on a larger motorcycle). Can't remember when you go to Stockholm (sp) but it's great that you've recuperated enough to go. Love you guys, f & b
Hi, Kids,
Sheri here. I'm so very glad to read about the great news. I think about you often, my thoughts just don't make it to you.
My best to you all!
