Cole had an MRI on Monday. We were very happy to find out that his tumor that was the size of a cantalope is now the size of a golfball!! We were very happy to hear such great progress is being made. He will now start radiation starting on Nov. the 26th. For 5 weeks the radiation will be targeted to the large area where the tumor is and was. The 6th week they will then focus the radiation only on the tumor. He will continue chemo every other week, Monday through Friday.
It will be a hard 6 weeks but he is tough and we pray all will go well.
The Dr. said his bone where the cancer formed will always be weak and he will have to be careful... Cole being careful might be possible?! I think he will somewhat because the Dr. said if it every gets broken or fractured there won't be anything they can do for it and it will be very painful. I tried to get him to promise me that he would be careful but he just smiled. He wants us to bring the motorcycles to the Thanksgiving gathering. If you have seen the movie "Little Giants"? It's a movie about a little league football team and one of the Mom's sends her son to practice all bundled up in foam pads to protect him. I told Cole I would make him one of those protective outfits!
