christymike Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 I know I havent posted in a while but just wanted to give everyone and update on my dad. He had his CT scan on monday and met with his doctor today and he stated that the tumor had some shrinkage! Halliluah... This is the best and most positive news we have had through this whole process.. I was dreading what i would feel today but it turned out to be so positive! I think the doctor might be slightly amazed since I pushed for my dad to be on it and he didnt know if it would work. Thank GOD.! I have hope now having hope is a great feeling. We are closer to a cure for all of us everyday i think just a matter of time. Bless you all Christy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
