Good News...finally

A quick update....then we are off to spend a fun day with the kids!!

The tumor has shrunk...a little.  Dr. Ravi will present Dave's case to the radiation oncologist and surgeon on Thursday.  They will decide then if he will have radiation.  We should know more on Thursday or Friday.  Then he should be scheduled to see the surgeon next week.  If they don't choose to radiate, he may have one more round of chemo.  Dr. Ravi told Dave to be proud that he had 70% of this behind him.  Needless to say this was the best visit we have had with him so far.  He said it is usually a 5 week wait on surgery because of the busy schedules of the surgeons.  So that would put Dave having surgery early to mid April.  Thanks to all of you who have prayed fervently for us!!
