appointment with Dr. Chan

Today mom had an appointment with Dr. Chan. It looks like the tumor is still there and still at 2cm. After the 6th treatment at the end of the month, there will be a CT scan, and possible a Ped scan to check for hot spots. If the tumor isn't gone after the 6th treatment, Dr. Chan thinks a 7th and 8th treatment will be necessary. Mom and dad asked about surgery and he said that's not what he would regularly do. With the 7th and 8th treatment he might switch to a different chemo to see if that gets rid of the tumor.

So many many prayers that the 6th chemo treatment gets rid of the tumor.
