I just talked with my son and the doctor told him today that he is doing so well that he may not even have to have the surgery. His bilirubin level is now down to normal and he has been able to come off a lot of the pain meds. Meanwhile he continues the chemo and they will do another cat scan in 2 weeks, I guess to verify their findings. We realize it isn't over but that sure us encouraging. Anyway, thanks to all for the prayers. They work!!
