Thanks for all your loving words and information regarding follow-up CT/PET scans. I have good news and bad news.

First off, the house in LA that was a possibility has become a reality. We can use it, FREE, for as long as we need it. God does send miracles.

Bad news- when they took a CT of Don's chest this past Monday, to map out where they were going to do radiation, they found another tumor. This tumor grew since Jan. 10th, so the cancer in his lungs is active. Because of the wide area (tumors were all in the upper part of both lungs before this new one) they can not do radition, plus they will not be using a new medication (eribitux). Don will begin chemo on March 1st. Not sure which chemo meds they will be using yet, but it will be for 8 weeks, once a week. At 7 weeks they will do another CT scan to determine if the tumors are smaller. If they are not reduced by 50% then the bone marrow transplant for his leukemia will be cancelled.

Please pray that not only does the chemo work but also that his leukemia stays in remission.

The radiosurgery radiation to his brain was done this past Wednesday and now he is just trying to get past the side effects.

This tonsil cancer is HORRIBLE!

Thanks again for all the love you ALL send our way.
