Friday, 10:30 pm Update

We received a mixed bag of information from the oncologist today. Some good news and some not so good. The bad news is that the scan showed some very small tumors in Steve's liver. These spots did not show up on the scan he had two months ago (right before his surgery). They are very new and while they are small and developing a new blood supply, the doctor feels that there are a couple of chemo drugs that will be very effective. The good news is that Dr. Harvey feels that he can get Steve back into remission. He says that the drugs he wants to use should cause no side effects. They will work to destroy the blood supply to these new tumors. Steve is scheduled to start chemotherapy on Wednesday morning. Dr. Harvey also said he wants Steve to discontinue the TPN. He informed us that the longer you go without eating normally the more sluggish your digestive system gets. Since Steve's system is working now he wants him to stay off the TPN this weekend and if all goes well he will pull his PIC line on Wednesday. We still need lots of prayers. Steve and I thank each and everyone of you for those prayers, your phone calls, cards and visits. "One day at a time, Dear Lord!"
