hello all,
the pet results are in and there was no new growth, but no shrinkage either, so they called the tumor "stable". he was started on methotrexate low dose, weekly for 8 weeks. ( with one week off for as a break for our wedding anniversary).
so, good news in all, and he'll also see the pain/palliative care service for further pain management.
i'm grateful for any news that isnt bad!
thank you all for your thoughts and prayers
