A Mixed Bag...

Last night, I went to Sloan Kettering and had a PET Scan and CT Scan done, the results were mixed.

While most of the tumors had diminished or disappeared, there is a mass in my chest that will not submit to the treatment. As a result, Dr. O'Connor has decided to put me on a low dose chemotherapy that will kill this mass. I request your prayers for my continued strength, I have faith in an awesome God that everything happens for a reason, and I am not scared. I also cannot ignore the positive, most of the tumors shrunk or disappeared. The situation could be a lot worse, and I am thankful that there were some positive results.

As of this moment, my plans are to come back to California and receive treatment at City Of Hope, but I will remain under the care and supervision of my Sloan Kettering doctors and return to the East Coast at least once a month. This way I am able to be with my family and friends most of the time, and still receive the best possible treatment. I hope to move back to the West Coast within the next few weeks. I will keep you posted.
