Yes we did go the Dr. on Thursday. The only problem was that the super lab test results are still not back yet. We are still waiting but feel confident that things will come back positively for Bruce. That means that we have hope that his genes have a genetic mutation that will result in better chemo therapy results.
This week Bruce will have his last 3 treatments of radiation. Radiation has made him extremely tired and he has pretty severe headaches because it makes your brain swell. He has some good medication to help with the swelling and the pain, thank heavens for the miracle of modern science!
After radiation he will have 2 weeks off of treatment to give his body a chance to recuperate and then on the 16th of March he will have another CT scan so that they can get a new base line before they start Chemo therapy. Then on the 17th of March he will start Chemo therapy. He will have 2 treatments a week for 3 weeks and then he will have a week off. We are not looking forward to the Chemo. We know how rough it can be after watching our granddaughter go through it but we have also seen her recovery as a result so please keep us in your prayers. We are so grateful for all of you and the love you have shown us. May the Lord bless you all for your kindness.
