Well, actually two: Chris had his pre-surgery bone scan and chest CT scan yesterday, and both of them came up clear. Yay! So for now, it looks like the cancer is still localized in his leg. Also, Dr. Joyce (oncologist) said that the bone scan showed more necrosis of the tumor, which is really good news since it means that the chemo is having some effect.
On another good note, Chris saw Dr. Jiang again this week who gave him some Chinese remedies to compliment the chemo and strengthen Chris's immune system. It seems to have a very positive effect as this was one of the better weeks for Chris on chemo.
We'll keep you posted with new info as we get closer to surgery. Amazingly, Chris seems almost philosophical about the prospect of having his leg amputated. Quite a brave young man. Tuesday is the big day. Prayers y'all.
