More from the doctor's report and Photos from Houston 8/24/09

We got the impression that Dr. Abbruzzese was even more encouraged with Joe's tests results this time than last. He even used the word "remission." Not that Joe is there, but that it could be possible. The reaction to the chemo gives Dr Abbruzzese an idea of what type of caner cells that we are fighting, which also gives him clues as to alternate treatments should Joe reach a point of immunity or physically not being able to tolerate the current treatment, long term . The doctor did not speak of radiation or surgery. Joe will probably always take some sort of chemo, even in remission, to keep the cancer at bay.
