Wow! what good news today at John's Oncology appointment. All his blood results are looking really good. His Bilirubin level is now down to 18 which is now normal. In fact 2/3rds of his blood results are now within normal limits and the 1/3 that is still above the doctor says they are not concerned about.
Even his Liver function test is now looking really good, which to say that it had almost stopped functioning 12 weeks ago is nothing short of a miracle.
I asked the doctor if they would be starting the 3rd Drug after his scan next week and she told us that as the existing cocktail is working so well they would not envisage altering that. In other words 'If it ain't broken don't try to fix it'.
However, having said all that, we are not getting carried away as we know how quickly things could change, we are just thankful that at the present time John has got back a good quality of life and is able to eat well and do most of things he enjoys doing. We can only hope that this lasts and he is still with this time next year and the year after etc.......
