This morning we got the results of John's CT scans from last week. The head and neck area remains clear and there is no sign of tumour in his other organs. The lesions in the lungs, however, have grown to 1 cm and 1.5 cm. The doctors' conclusion is that the tumour is slow-growing. John is going back for another series of scans in two months' time. At that point, it is possible that there might be a clinical trial that he can participate in which is delivered by IV and so his inability to swallow will not be an issue. I guess we'll just keep soldiering on.
