Update 11.20.08

We have had some very good news. Dr. Kew believes the results of the profusion scan show the mass to be necrosis and not tumor. Dead tissue we can deal with as we then only need to create new pathways to learning...and boy are we working on that!

The Doppler looked good showing no increase in the blood clot and Tom's leg swelling is way down. He now only has to give himself one shot of Lovonox a day instead of two.

And finally the last infusion went well. I starting training to be Dr. Kew's assistant and felt very important. I even held my hands pointing up like they do on tv.

More importantly Tom did not have a bad reaction. It took us a full 10 hours to accomplish all the tests and chemo but we slept in our own bed so life is good.

Next infusion is after Thanksgiving and next profusion scan is in two months. In the meantime we are walking several mornings a week and have seen some amazing sunrises. We continue to be blessed.

Please keep Tom in your prayers.

Love Theresa
