Three month scan

Unfortunately, the news is not great.  The scan showed a new growth in the ascending colon.  I have included the picture for reference.  This growth was roughly about 1/2 inch.  In September, they removed a drug from his chemo cocktail because his liver function was starting to be impacted.  The cocktail had previously worked to shrink his tumors.  They will be adding this drug back to his chemo cocktail in hopes that his liver function has recovered and that is will help the tumor. 

The fact that he had a 6 month period with no growth is pretty amazing.  He seems to continue to be in good spirits.  For now, he will continue to take chemo.  Thanks for all of the continuing thoughts and prayers. And...since the Harlem Shake is the "thing" to do right now, I thought I would throw this in.  Harlem Shake...chemo edition.....
