Jim's CT results

 

Aug 29, 2005

Jim recieved the results from the CT scan performed last Thursday to determine if the chemo is working.    They said statistically the tumors have remained unchanged.  Measurement-wise though, they have grown a bit.  This could be just because of possible variation in the positioning of the CT machine. 

Of course we are dissappointed in the results, as we had hoped the chemo would have caused the tumors to shrink or disappear.

We still have not been told when Jim will receive a brain MRI to determine the effects of the whole brain radiation.

We have an appointment Friday with the doctor to determine next steps.  As always, keep Jim in your prayers that the whole brain radiaiton eliminates the brain tumors and the chemo eliminates the tumors in the rest of his body. 

Love,

Sammi
