Monday Night

The doctor's visit went as we expected it would today. Dr. Moskowitz read the MRI report and confirmed that while the tumor hasn't grown, it also hasn't shrunk much, considering all the chemo Mark underwent. He agreed to suspend treatment; however, he did not recommend that we call in Hospice yet. He says we will take a two-month "holiday" from the treatment, get a new scan at the end of that time, and then make our decision. Mark had gained about 12 pounds since his lowest weight, he has good color, much improved energy and much better overall emotional health. So, we will just go for a while without the chemo and see how things progress.
Mark was able to completely finish the prime rib from last night's dinner, along with a couple of broccoli spears. He was very happy. Poor doggies - they got NONE of it. They were just sure they would be getting the goodies. Everybody who has prayed with and for us - it's working! Thank you so much. Help us keep up the vigil and NEVER GIVE UP!
