Good News!!

Hi everyone:

I know I haven't updated this blog for awhile, and a lot of you may not read this anymore, but I thought I would give you the latest so the word would be out. We went to the Dr today (16th) to get the results of the CAT scan that was done on the 12th. We actually didn't talk directly to him, but to his associate as it was an extremely busy day for them (monday's usually are) Anyway, he had studied the results and said that it seems the enlarged lymph nodes have been reduced and everything looks good. He does have an enlarged spleen, but that could be due to a couple of things--side effects of the Chemo, just a normal thing for him, or scarring from the effects of the disease. They are stopping the Chemo for now and in about a month they want another PET scan done at the Huntsman Center. This is something they would have done at the end of Chemo anyway, so now that the CAT scan indicates that he may be in remission, they will do the PET scan to determine if he really is in remission and what is really causing the enlarged spleen. So, we came away feeling cautiously optimistic. He is feeling good and his blood looked good too, so now we kind of sit back and watch and wait. They are planning on following up on him about every month or so. We feel very blessed and again appreciate all of the faith and prayers on his behalf. We love you all, hope all is well with each of your families.

Love Lannis
