A glimmer of hope

I will let you know that this entry is strictly a theoretical entry since there is no real hard evidence behind it. HOWEVER, today they had an interdisciplinary conference an I was part of the discussion. The bottom line seems to be that there is a glimmer albeit small, that the tumor has shrunken enough that surgical intervention might be possible. We won't know this for sure until a pet scan and a CT scans are done to give them exact location and size. Since the tumor is in a precarious location, the surgery would be considered high risk. Then again, if they get it right, it would be high reward.

Let's see what the scans show and then we will solicit the opinion of the peanut gallery.

Keep up the fight. This is good news and we all pray that they can remove Mr Nasty.

We feel bad for Lester and don't see how that can happen in that warm climate he lives in.
