We had a CT and lab results today before we met with Dr. Keedy, the oncologist. His counts were good and he could continue with chemo this week. The tumors have shrunk 25% - Wow!!!!!! We are so excited. However, we won't probably have the true picture until several months from the last treatment.
We have chemo tomorrow and Thursday. Then we should be homeward bound for three weeks. We will then return to Nashville July 6 for 3 more chemo sessions.
James, told Dr. Keedy that the only reason that she wanted him to have more chemo is "to keep him bald all summer and to keep him from being more tan than she will be".
Dr. Keedy also brought a student in with her today. She announced that he was a Ph/D to which JG replied "post hole digger"? Dr. Keedy knows Mr. G for the prankster that he is, but she had neglected to warn the student about "this" patient- to which she apologized profusely.
"God love him!!!"
Hugs and bunches of kisses from Nashville (almost blown away today),

Good news on the tumor shrinkage! And I could have warned the student Dr about Jamie's "sense of humor"! (Actually one of my favorite things!) Hope to see you both soon, love from us being sent to Nash-vegas.
