An update on Dad

I haven’t reported on my Dad’s condition for a while, so here is a little recap. They did a PET scan after the third chemo and found that the only cancer spots showing were the original lung spot which is pretty small and a spot on his adrenal glad. All of the rest of the spots were gone! Praise the Lord! A follow up brain MRI, though, revealed that the tumors previously treated with the Gamma Knife were gone, but that there were some new spots. He had a second gamma knife procedure last week. This Wednesday he had his fifth chemo and it has been going relatively well—fatigue and hair loss being the main side effect. He has a very good appetite and is starting to gain a little lost weight with his cocktail of raw egg and grape juice drank once a day! (He says it tastes like grape flavored eggnog!) They will do another PET scan after the 6th chemo treatment which will be in 3 weeks. He credits the good news first to God and the prayers of so many, then to chemo, diet, and supplements. Thanks so much for your prayers and support!
