Good News!

We made it through the past few days. They have been anxious ones at times. The MRI was done on Monday afternoon. We went up to the UCLA specialist on Tuesday morning. We got there an hour early, we had allowed two hours to get there and made it in a little over an hour.  The traffic was great, not sure how I would have been had we gotten struck.

The doctor was great. He spent about an hour and a half with us. Asked some good questions, and Dwayne did well with the neurological part of the exam. But the MRI report did not get up to him on Monday afternoon like it was supposed to. He looked at all of Dwayne's MRIs. We had hand carried them, but did not comment on them. He agreed with what the two other oncologists have said and we'll see Dr. Cheng (the local oncologist) on Tuesday for the next step. Will be two new chemo drugs. The goal is to get a complete remission on this.

This afternoon the nurse called from Dr. Cheng's office with the MRI results. It shows "SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION" with the lesions! This was great to hear!

Thank  all of you for your prayers! We are headed in a good direction.
