I am thrilled to report Maggie's CT scan performed yesterday revealed no new growth or new lesions. The primary nodules being used as indicators of treatment effectiveness were stable - no increase in size. We're thankful for this news. Maggie will be able to continue...

Maggie and I will be making the road trip to Birmingham tomorrow for a 2:30 CT scan. This will be the first indication of clinical trial effectiveness. We are praying to see reduced or stable lung nodules and no new activity elsewhere. This drug combination has proven...
