update from the doctor

Here is a brief report of our doctor's visit. Torry's doctor feels positive that we are on the right track. Since Torry has less pain than he had a while ago, and since according to the ultrasound the tumors have begun to shrink, he is hopeful that with more chemo treatments they will eventually see more positive results. He explained that Torry's vomiting spasms come from the dead cells being released from the shrinking tumors. So for now we continue giving him liquids through IV and resume with Chemo treatments today. We feel a measure of comfort in the doctor's positive explanations, yet the road ahead still looks very difficult.

This picture is Torry taking Treatment (Dec.31 ) and his Brother Jake.

 Thanks for all your Prayers ....

  Torry's appetite is almost back to normal. He stopped using PAIN killers, which we are very thankful  for.

                        Friday we had the news from the Doctor that he felt the Cancer is shrinking!!!!

                        Last Wednesday Torry got AVASTIN(Chemo) . It didn't  set him back much.   So they will give him  3 more Treatments before we can go home .  This picture shows how we spent our Sunday today.  We have also spent many evenings like this playing games. - Dave
