Guest guest Posted June 19, 2004 Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 I will be praying that results for Phil continue to be good. This is such an anxious time and to me even more difficult to go through than knowing. At least when you know, a plan of action can be put into place. He will be fine. He bounces back so quickly, just like Bert, and then I can tell you too " I told you so " :-) Hugs, Monika > Hi > Phil had a CT scan Tuesday and chemo on Wednesday. > We will find out the results Monday. > His blood counts are back up and I think we may wind up having chemo 1 week on 2 weeks off as that seems to give him time to bounce back. Please pray that there is some progress seen on the CT. I do no there has been no new growth and for that we are thankful. > > I am currently taking some R & R at my parents house in Mass. with Danny and our many friends in Erie keeping an eye on Phil. I'll return sunday night than off to Dr. Rothman with Phil Monday. > It has been a relaxing time and it is good to GET AWAY from cancer for awhile. > > The boys are well glad to be out of school. Danny may have a job cleaning carpets and goes for his license FINALLY. Tim is basking in thoe long summer days with nothing but free time. Ahh to be 12 again!! > > I will have a more complete update for you when I get back from the DR Monday > As always thank you for your love prayers and support! > Narice Phil Danny & Timmy May Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
