A bump on road

This weekend I developed a fever and rash and my blood levels were off.
For those that have seen me as a zombie cop, you get the picture of what my face looks like.
I was admitted and they did biopsies on my eyes and different skin areas. They put me on antibiotics and the fever went down. The rash may have been from the Tarceva, but it is not a typical Tarceva rash, unfortunately, they stopped the Tarceva until they figure it all out.
Since the full biopsies result will not be completed until next week, I will be hopefully go home as soon as my blood levels improve and wait at home for the results.
I will post as soon as I get results.
Thanks for your prayers and good wishes.

Praise the Lord, for all that He does is good.

I got my results of MRI and Cat Scan that was done last week.
April's MRI showed that all previous brain tumors are gone. New MRI of brain shows no new lesions and only one tiny residual lesion. It's a great feeling knowing that I will not need brain radiation. 

The tumor on my lung has shrunk and is now less than half the size it was in April. Breathing is so much easier now. 

Bone metastases in the skull, skull base and spine are unchanged. That is great as they have not increased in size.

Therefore I will continue in the clinical trial and hopefully the rest of the cancer will shrink.

Once again I want to thank everyone for being there for me when I need you and for your positive thoughts and prayers. As you can see, they help. I cannot adequately express my appreciation for that, but I really, truly do appreciate it.

Thank You

I had an MRI of the brain and a cat scan of my lungs and abdominal area to determine if the clinical trial of medicine I have been taking the last three weeks is working.
I will see the doctor on Wednesday June 8th for the results.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all my family and friends for their unending support, encouragement and love
It really helps me to know that you are thinking of me and praying for me.
Keep it up!
