Only 4 more to go!

Hello all,

Sorry about being a blog slacker, but there’s not much going on with Scott’s Chemo Adventure right now – and that’s GOOD news! He’s hanging in there with his chemo treatments – only 2 more inpatient and two more outpatient to go. He did fine during his last inpatient stay and he was happy to be at UMH hospital instead of Jackson. He got to see almost all his favorite nurses (except for one who was on vacation) and was much more comfortable. He still has his cough, but he saw an ENT today who said everything looks fine and to continue to keep an eye on it.

He also had another CT scan a few weeks ago, along with an x-ray. The tumor is continuing to shrink just a smidge, but there continues to be a small amount of bone regrowth, as well – so all-in-all things are going well.

We don’t know anymore about radiation versus surgery yet – we’ll know more when his chemo treatments are over, which right now, is scheduled to be early November. His last actual treatment should be on November 7^th – whoohoo! If radiation is the way they go, he’ll likely start radiation three weeks later (or so). (I wonder...will we have to rename the blog to Scott's Radiation Adventure at that point?!??)

We hope everyone is doing well. I know you guys are checking the blog because I’ve been getting in trouble for not updating it :) so I wanted to send a quick post.

Love,

Amy
