      Off to IU tomorrow for repeat scans to see if my hubby is an ipi responder.
      He is scheduled for an infusion of Zometa tomorrow too.
      Praying the ipi worked and the three spots on his spine and pelvis are smaller and there are no new ones. We really could use some good news!
      His oncologist is thinking of starting Temodar if there is any growth of the spots. I am worried about that. He continues to lose weight. Could be due to the high protein diet due to the high dose of steroids he is on.
      We are scared!

                      It's so difficult not to be fearful…lean on each other and your spiritual strengths.

                      If your husband does end up trying Temodar, it's not a difficult to take. I was lucky to respond well to Temodar…

                      But let's hope that scans are good and you won't have choose anything more than the course of action he's on.

                      Prayers are there for your husband and you~ please keep us updated.
