Update

We will be heading home Saturday.

We saw the Radiation Oncologist this morning. He had a preliminary reading of Ryans scans, and he is not seeing any suspicious spots on any other organs. He is nervous about some areas where his tumor was removed that look like leftover cancer cells, as well as a lymph node between the vena cava and aorta that is looking suspicious on his scans. They will treat this with radiation therapy to eliminate any leftover cancer cells. After much debate on wether to stay here to recieve the radiation therapy, we have decided to come home and get the treatment. Ryan will get radiation daily for 5-8 weeks, as well as starting a chemotherapy drug called mitotane, which he will have to take for 2-5 years . . . yes years.

We will have the final results of the scans tomorrow, as well as the mitotic level. The mitotic level will tell us how agressive his cancer is.

We love and appreciate you all!
