 Mark's tumor has shrank by about 25% which we are very thankful for. Mark had a fever earlier this week, which the doctors say could just be from all the cancer cells being killed! Due to the fever his chemo was pushed off by a day. Mark had chemo today and will also receive a round tomorrow. Mark will have a couple of days to recover before his trip to Mayo. Mark will be leaving Monday for the Mayo clinic. Mark is going to get a second opinion and see if they can offer any more treatment options. If all goes as planned Mark will return home the following Monday with some options to discuss with his doctor here. We will keep everyone posted as new information comes in. As always thank you for all of your kind thoughts and prayers!
