Where did it go? We can't find it!! - by Mark

Our Oncologist confirmed what we thought we saw on the Echocardiogram last Thursday.  The large tumor in the heart is gone!  They can’t see it.  Which means likely every other tumor is gone as well!!  Now he did warn us that echocardiograms are not perfect at seeing things but it can’t be much because it all looked clean to all of us and it was real easy to see before.  The doctor also reminded us that this drug is just a stall and that the cancer will figure out a way around it.  But, this is the best he has ever seen.  He said you are now in the single digits of likely responses to this medication.  He will be showing pictures of my heart before and after at one of his global medical meetings, he was way excited, as were we.

He also reduced the dosage of the Zelboraff 25% to see if he can reduce some of the side effects, which should not hurt the success at all.

Now we are on to schedule an appointment with our cardiologist to see if we can shock the heart back into regular rhythm, as there now is nothing in the heart to break loose and clog the lungs.

Thank you so much for your thoughts, prayers and love.  I believe it has made all the difference.

Love,

Mark
