We met with the DR today for results of yesterdays scans. BH it seems that this past round of chemo stopped the intense spreading that was going on and may of possibly shrunk the cancer a very small amount as well. The CT scan BH remains clear of any masses.

The one problem is that the labs today showed Elis platelets still dropping which by now they were expecting to be recovering on their own. They are hoping that Eli is just taking a little longer then the normal. The problem with not having Elis platelets recover on their own means that there is a lot of disease in his bone marrow and that will make Eli un eligible for any of the studies we are hoping he will get on. There are other chemo options if this is the case but would be a lot better to do the drug studies. By next weeks labs we will know if they will recover on their own and if not as a last resort they will try infusing stem cells which may jump start things further.

Bottom line is we are definitely ok with todays results as the possibility that things could of been getting worse was a likelihood. We continue to have a long road ahead of us to help Eli to a refua shelayma and as always we will continue to taking one day at a time and do what’s best.

Please as always continue having Elimelech Ben Basya in all your tefilos. A GUT SHABOS. A FREILICHEN CHANUKAH
