***** dad got his results from the CAT scan he just had on the 23rd**************
No "cured" as yet, but things are looking good. Output from last Friday Doctors meeting is NO surgery is going to be required. Chemo Doctor wants to do one more round of treatments starting in about a week. These will not be the BIG DEAL the first round was, and no RAD stuff required. Think of it as building on my progress so far. We remain close to putting this thing to bed, but not yet. I'm OK with his plan & remain in good spirits.

results of the CAT scan
**** Got this email from dad this morning****
It looks like GOOD NEWS, but I don't want to use terms like "remission or cured" as yet. Early results of my last CAT Scan are quite good.....big time change (for the better) from last Scan. Both my Chemo and Rad Doctors will be meeting with the entire Cancer Team this Friday to review client status. The REAL answer for me will follow that session. Cross your fingers !

Update
****Update******
Had 4 week follow-up session with RAD Doctor Friday (3-20). She continues to be pleased with my status. Next scheduled visit is in 4 months.
My next gate is the CAT Scan on Monday (3-23). This will set the base-line on where we are, and what is next. I don't expect any output till later in the week as both the Chemo and RAD Doctors need to review the results, them confer with me.
Mental health here remains good, but somewhat nervous on test results & next steps.

update...
***update from dad ***
Good session with Chemo Doctor yesterday. Blood chemistry continues to improve, gained a whole pound.
Next steps are RAD Doctor follow-up on the 20th, and a CAT Scan week of the 23rd. Results of the CAT Scan will determine where we are, and next steps. Still in good mental health.
