Finally, some good news. John's scans from last week indicate no evidence of cancer at the primary site in his right cheek. The miniscule spots on his lungs remain just that.....miniscule. They are no smaller, but, more importantly, there is NO growth. With these results, he continues in the Belinostat clinical trial.
As I previously wrote, he was experiencing some pain & burning sensation at the infusion site during the last few minutes of infusion. That seems to have been remedied by running a saline drip concurrently with the infusion. He had his 1st treatment today in round #3 and all went well. Due to the Memorial Day holiday, there was no treatment on Monday, so we will be here until Saturday this week, in order to get in all 5 infusions. Then it's back home for two weeks before returning for Round #4, after which he will, again, be re-scanned and they will assess whether he continues with the trial.
I just pray he continues to respond well and makes more progress toward controlling this "C" monster.
