Every days a better day for Jon. He was up most of the day and now naps on the couch instead of in bed. Kind of pathetic, but we measure improvement by being able to get from the bed to the couch! When I called him on my lunch hour he said he felt good and was going to try to walk Lakeland Hills today. Of course he crashed an hour later and never made it, but at least he feels well enough to think about it :)

We see Dr. Chue and Dr. Reilly on October 21st. I anticipate Jon will have a PET scan after that visit to determine how much active cancer is left and formulate our game plan. He has an MRI of his liver in November to measure the effectiveness of the embolization. He's planning on taking a nice long break from treatment this month and doing some local deer hunting. He's definitely ready for both.
