On Wednesday we received the results from John's PET scan. The tumors that John had radiation on have not gotten any bigger! We were hoping that they would go away completely, but at least they did not increase in size. However, we were also told that the cancer had spread to his lungs. This was very heartbreaking. One of the advantages we had against this cancer was that it had not traveled through the bloodstream (just the lymph nodes) needless to say we all shed a few tears when we got that news. Thursday we had another consultation with the Radiation Surgeon. We asked a lot of questions and feel pretty positive about the radiation keeping those little tumors from getting any bigger. John immediately had to get prepared for the radiation surgery. So after our consult he had his pre-CT scan, they marked him all up for his next series of treatments.
John's biggest complaint at this time is still the neuropathy. He is having a hard time walking and the pain is absolutely unbearable at times.
Alaina is out on summer break, and has already hit the slumber party train! She had a great year academically. Have to brag on her a bit - all A's except for one little B that snuck in there! She is our little pride and joy - to know her is to love her!
Thanks for all your prayers!

I have had another opportunity to go to the Notre Dame cathedral in Marseille (South of France) to say a prayer for John. I hope it will help.
