Treatment Day #21

Thursday, February 14


Hi family & friends,

Well, Trevor, Jackson and I flew here to visit mom & dad this am. We got here about 10:15 am, and went into Mexico so the boys could see where they're papa is receiving his treatments & did a little shopping!! Well, it was awesome we all got to see dad get his ultrasound after he finished his treatment and compared to Tuesday after the injection of medicine from Saturday has worked through the larger tumor on the liver; and seeing that Dr Reyes had a huge smile, because this tumor has shrunk and the tissue around it is dying :) Then she ultrasounded dad's stomach and there is less inflamation on the lining of his stomach. Which is what causes his stomach pain (the inflammation) and he is now having less pain, almost gone! Dad is weak right now due to low red blood cells, but he received a shot on Friday that will help raise the level, and it usually can take up to 14 days to increase. Just wanted to update everyone, I will send another one soon!

Love

Heather
