Journal entry by Kathleen Johnson

We have a very busy couple of weeks.  Tues Oct 8th Bennie's chemo doctor decided to set Bennie up for radiation in an attempt to shrink his tumor faster.  This would allow Bennie to hopefully get back to eating solid foods.  A 2nd PETSCan was done on Thurs Oct 11th to help set up the radiation target area.  On Tues Oct 15th we returned to the Chemo Dr to find out that there is now a spot on Bennie's liver.  NEW GAME PLAN AGAIN!  Bennie will not start 10 days of radiation beginning Oct 24th again with the goal of shrinking his tumor.  A new scan will be done after the 10 days and a new round of chemo will begin.  This is not the news we have have been hoping and praying for, but we remain hopeful and determined to fight.  Thank you all for caring.  Words do not describe how important your prayers are to us.
