Guest cheri Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 HHHOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY!!!! Happy Dance! Happy Dance! I am so happy today and it's the first time in a long time! My Dad's CT scan results came back with significant shrinkage and no spreading of the disease. We are all so relieved and can breathe, sleep, eat, etc., a lot easier today! He is still on the Carbo/Taxol and rec'd his third treatment yesterday. You may remember that he fell and broke his leg in two places a couple of weeks ago...he finally got his cast off this past Monday and everything looks good. He's still wheelchair/bedbound for right now, but in about 4 weeks he should be good as new and walking normally without assistance. Thanks so much for your kind words and concern. I appreciate all of your prayers! Cheri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donna G Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Shrink sounds like he could make friends with NED. Any friend of NED is a friend of ours. Kidding aside sounds great . Donna G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
