Update PET scan results:→[More:]

"Mixed response to therapy. Several lesions particularly in the brain but also several skeletal lesions have decreased compared to previous."

Also, lesions in lungs and liver have disappeared or decreased although one new lesion in each can be seen.

One site on left shoulder is still there, and felt.

So a mixed bag, but far from terrible. Continuing on present course of immune therapy to see what happens.

All this yesterday.

So some good news.

I have ups and downs. Going to the gym, walking in the warm exercise pool. It wipes me out but also feels like I am accomplishing something. Lost a frightening amount of weight but in the past weeks that has evened off. No hair due to the radiation on my brain but it might be resprouting. Thanks for asking.

I was thinking of you only today and was about to email you for an update. I hope you're keeping your spirits up and bashing the hell out of those guitars.

It's good to hear the trend is mostly positive. I hope it only gets better from here.

Thanks for the update! I think about you all the time and wonder how you are doing. It sounds like you are staying active, are you still playing guitar? I hope your appetite has been good!

Thanks for the update, Dan.

It sounds reasonable, yes? I hope you are feeling OK in and of yourself, even with the feeling wiped out after the pool. Am thinking of you often, but don't want to harass you! And then feel guilty about not asking after you! Argh! Know that you're in my thoughts, anyways.
