ask and you shall receive

Well today is Wednesday and it was the day that Roger and I really were dreading, ......but....it was the day we heard from his Doctor some good news for once. He told us that the cancer has not spread to his organs (Pet and CT scan) MRI did show more lesions in the spine, But......the radiation took care of the bigger areas the last two radiation therapies he had in the last 6 months. The type of chemo he received today and will continue to get will 50/50 take care of the lesions that are there and help with pain......today he got another hormone shot, a dose of Zomita for bone strengthening and the dose of chemo of which he will get once every three weeks X 6 of which will take us into December. They will evaluate his PSA thru blood work every three weeks to see that his PSA is going down. Now our thoughts and prayers will be to focus on the chemo doing just that and not making him to weak or ill. There will be the side effects, but I will have my friend do accupuncture for the nausa and we will make sure that he has plenty of good nourishment and liquids and vitamins to sustain this treatment. Dr. Barnett seemed optomistic that this would help him feel better in the long run....whatever that long run might be........He said Roger is a very healthy man other than the cancer and that he had hopes that this would help him enough to be able to be more active later on. We are talking January or February now. I prayed for good news and I know that all of you did too.....it worked so keep on praying and thanks ...keep it up ....good job......happy day.......love you all
