I didn't update last month (in July) after Travis did his 5-day chemo because it really went pretty smoothly.  Bloodwork showed platelets groing up which was very good news and all other numbers have stayed in the normal range throughout the chemo sessions.  Platelets were the only concern in bloodwork stats.

Travis and Sarah headed for the Mayo August 11 to do more bloodwork and an MRI.  Bloodwork all looked good including the platelets which went up again.  August 12 they had a meeting with the doctor to review the results of the MRI (always the stressful part).  MRI showed what they think is some fluid in the area of the surgery.  Doctor didn't seem real concerned but he is scheduling another MRI in two months instead of three to keep an eye on it.  The small spot center brain has not changed at all.

Travis will be starting his 6th month of chemo on the 20th (again the 5-day series of chemo pills).  I believe after that the next MRI will determine the next steps.

As always, we ask for your prayers to continue.  Our brave son continues to amaze us in every way.
