August update

We are overdue for an update, but previously, there was not much to report. Matthew has completed 7 of his 12 chemo treatments. His platelet counts have been staying strong. He has been feeling ok, but his hair has gotten much thinner. He also doesn't have to worry about shaving. He had some scans this week at MDA and got his results on Friday. The good news is that one of his 3 tumors shrunk, and the other two stayed the same. Shrinking is great, but not growing is good. The only negative is that his liver function was slightly off. Three different measures came back as being slightly high. This most likely means that the chemo is affecting his liver. As a result, they will take one of the drugs out of his chemo cocktail. He also was referred to another surgeon. At this point, this is a consultation to see what the options are. They seem to be optimistic about the fact that they found no more spots, and he only has 3 small tumors currently. In another note, I would like to take this opportunity to wish our parents a very happy 40th wedding anniversary. We love you and wish you many more years together.
