Treatment 2

So yesterday was Treatment 2. I had to wait to update until today, as I was not present. Alan's dad brought the girls home Thursday and wanted to take him yesterday. But they audio recorded the visit with the doctor for me.

This was so great for them. Alan said it was wonderful time to talk just them which doesn't happen that often. Usually the girls, Dee, myself and possibly Kyle and Phillip and their families are around too. 

There really are only three bits of information garnered from yesterday's all day event. 

1. His blood work was excellent. Forcing him to have more salt has finally increased his sodium levels. 
2. The third tumor that showed up on the 7/5 Scan is not a lymph node. This is a HUGE praise. We want to avoid node and bone involvement if possible!
3. The next scan will be 12 weeks from the first. So roughly the end of September. Until then we won't know if it is working. Until then we pray and try to create the best bodily environment for immunotherapy to work!

The infusion went well and we all met for dinner around 6 last night! Amy (Alan's sister), Mark and the boys all came up and met us for dinner and cupcakes. Their youngest turns 4 on Tuesday! So that was fun to put the cupcakes Audrey and I made yesterday to good use!

Next treatment is on August 17, our 16th anniversary! So we get a whole day date!!
