Update on my dad

My dad met with the Onocologist today. He thinks it is too soon too say the chemo he is on right now (sutent) is a failure. He said the tumor grew so much after the surgery, they can't be sure how effective this drug has been. They are going to put him on another round of this chemo, which is 4 more weeks, then they will do another catscan after that to determine how it is reacting. There is a combination drug they can try next, but it is more dangerous. He also said that he is not concerned about the spot on his liver. So all in all, it is better news then what we were expecting. Which is nice, hopefully we won't have heavy hearts on Thanksgiving, and can truly enjoy the time as a family.
