Spoke with Jacob's primary oncologist yesterday and he discussed Jacob's most recent MRI (done 1/4/10) with us.
Said that the spinal metastasis has stopped and it appears that some of the spinal masses are gone.
Also said the primary tumor in Jacob's brain is slightly smaller... this is actually tremendous news because the pathology of his tumor is such that we would happy if it just stayed the same and never grew. I do not know the exact numbers but when they reassessed his disease in October, they told us that the "new" diagnosis lowered his "potential outcome" (that's scary illness code of chance of surviving) by about 15%.
Basically, we were staring a pretty bleak cancer in the face and Jacob is responding to his treatments better than we could have dreamed he would.
I am grateful he is in the hands of such capable, experienced and intelligent doctors. On top of that I can't thank p5s enough for all their thoughts, prayers, encouragment, support, and financial support in this extremely difficult time for Jacob and our family.
We still have a long road in front of us but it is looking much more manageable today and I am very happy to share this news with everyone
