Great News!

I've been waiting for something BIG to report and I finally have it. I got the results of the latest CT scan today. The two prostate cancer tumors in my right lung have shrunk. One is down 32% since chemo began. The other is down 17%. Also, a lymph node in the region that has some involvement with the cancer has shrunk 59%.  My PSA is down to 3.2 (from a high of 8.0). My oncologist said that other men with metastasized prostate cancer have PSA in the 200 range. Also, the CT was of the whole abdomen and no other nodules (tumors) were found on the scan. We are truly fighting just what we know is there, and it is working!

I had chemo treatment #4 today. My white blood cell count is headed down and I will feel ill by the weekend. Already, my taste buds are affected and everything tastes metallic. That will last about a week and a half and then start a turn around. I'll regain my strength around Wed. or Thur. next week.

I'm really praising God for these good results and that I'm tolerating the treatments so well. I thank you all for your prayers on my behalf. Please keep praying.
