Update: Great news, chemotherapy is helping!
31 January 2025Morning,
We hope you are well! We have excellent news. The abdominal/chest CT results and review was discussed with us last night by John's oncologist.
All liver and lung tumours have shrunk quite significantly! John does it again!
The two treatments that John is having every 3 weeks will now continue, as they are making a real difference for him (suppressing tumour growth and actually shrinking size is pretty amazing!).
John can tolerate the immunotherapy and the chemotherapy at this level indefinitely, which is great as chemotherapy side effects will often stop treatments. The cost of his monthly treatments has now dropped as the drug manufacturers only charge for their product for 5 sessions. This is standard practice and super helpful for us at this time.
John is going to work in the bakery again for a couple of weeks soon. He feels well enough to do this. He's currently defying all odds, from what I can tell!
Anyway, that's about it. Thank you for sharing the Givealittle on our behalf and for all your support.
John, Amanda and Bonnie
