Today Hap was back at Sloan for his monthly octreotide injection, an echo-cardiogram and an appointment with his doctor to review his scans. Of course, he brought extra ears to listen and digest it all…Mary, Ray and friend, Lisa.

The octreoscan(nuclear) and CT scan showed further improvement in the liver tumors. The pelvic mass and compromised lymph nodes show no significant change; which means, they remain stable at this time.

The REALLY good news is that there are no new lesions(tumors). Hap and Mary have requested the scans be sent to a doctor in Sweden this week for further evaluation. At this time, Hap’s doctor at Sloan does not recommend any further treatments while his condition is stable.

Hap and Mary have met so many interesting people at Sloan…from all corners of the world and each with their unique stories. There’s so much to learn from each one and strength to absorb.
