More Good News

Yesterday Kerry had an MRI of his brain and the doctor said "his brain is perfect" (the doctor was busy so I didn't argue) and there is no sign of the little tumor that was there before the Gamma Knife treatment. The PET scan of the rest of his body showed no new tumors, a reduction in the size of the tumor in his liver and less (hardly any) active cancer cells in his liver.  So this means the Interleukin 2 treatments are working and he gets 2 more treatments starting later in July.  The doctor wants to give him time to recuperate from the last treatments so that hopefully he can tolerate more doses.

Thanks to all of you who have been sending good thoughts our way. We feel very lucky.
