Dear Friends & Family,

ONLY 1 MORE CHEMO TO GO!!! YIPPEE!

Blake had the 2nd to last chemo treatment last week. We also received the results from his most recent CT scan. The “lesion” on the left lobe of the liver was again noted but it has decreased in size – it now measures in millimeters rather than centimeters. You’ll remember that this same lesion gave everyone concern last time but the PET scan showed it was “metabolically silent” to cancer. So, what is this? We don’t know. (I think it’s an alien.) What we are concentrating on is that it has DECREASED in size. Wahoo!!!

What happens now? Blake has his LAST chemo the day after Memorial Day, removed 2 days later & then he’s done! He’ll see the Oncologist 4 weeks after the last chemo & have blood work done to make sure all his #’s are in order. Then, he’ll have a repeat CT scan in 8 weeks & we’ll see what the alien looks like. The Onc says that it will be around fall before Blake will regain his strength to pre-chemo days……. But you all know he’s a fighter (and pretty stubborn!) Otherwise, we are going to patiently wait for our new Granddaughter to come in early June (Aspen is going to be a big sister!) and ENJOY SUMMER! WAHOO! YIPPEE!! KIYEA!
