Update on Tom

[Mackey Mouse]

I know I have been quiet lately about our battle with Pancreatic cancer.....I really have had no good news to report, but Tom has been undergoing this new treatment, the latest and newest just out of clinical trials, and he has had a good response to this chemo. I just wanted to share it here that some of the tumors have shrunk significantly and some are gone. He will continue on this treatment and we will ride this wave staying in the present as this is a positive result. There are some side effects to this chemo....terrible rash, itching, but we will put up with that for the shrinking of the cancer and no new cancer cells.

I thought I would share our good news.

That is wonderful news Marsha! to both of you. So glad the new treatment is helping even with the side effects! Is there anything they can do to help the rash and itching? I hope so.
