CT RESULTS
The good news is there was no cancer detected in the pancreas! Bad news is that one of the liver tumors is too large for an ablation right now. It is also the one next to the Superior Vena Cava. Dr. Precht told us there are some surgeons at Stanford University we could consult for a second opinion, but we aren't going to pursue that right now. So its onto one more round of chemo and then a CT scan some time in the fall. At that point we will reconsider the ablation. Of course, there always remains the possibility that they could be gone after the next round. Right now Jon is still on Interferon which doesn't appear to have any side effects. We see Dr. Chu next Tuesday to plan the next course of chemo. We are expecting to start again the end of July or early August.

Stay strong Pops. It's like running the 400. The first time you don't know how much it's gonna hurt, so you kick the race's ass. Then you collapse at the finish line. But if the fear gets to you you'll run the next one 10 seconds faster. You just do it. One step at a time. One day at a time. So you've got one more 400 coming up champ. I know you can do it!
Woops...meant 10 seconds SLOWER!
