Updates

So in short, it’s good news. Of course you sometimes hope for more than you get, but we’ll take any range of good news that we can. The main concern is the tumors in the liver, and they have shrunk on average to about half their size. Although there is no way to determine the size of the esophageal tumor (imagine making a cross sectional picture of a tubular object from a side view – not really possible), they say that primary tumors usually shrink even more than metastatic tumors. There’s no reason to go in and take a look since the main concern is the tumor in the liver.

So what does that mean?

Well, more of the same chemo since it’s apparently working. Another CT scan in mid September, and much much more continued prayer. Thank you for your love and support. We hope that you will continue to walk with us through these next couple months. Your encouragement means so much.
