Chuck Perry Update

From Sherlan Perry (October 11, 2023):
Today was a CT scan and meeting with the surgeon and oncologist.
Pathology report: The margins around the tumor extracted tested negative for cancer. All 20 lymph nodes removed showed NO cancer. This means he will NOT need radiation, and further it is a major indication that the cancer did not spread. Also, they biopsied a place on his liver and that was negative.
CT scan looked great and the spots on the lungs (although they do not believe to be cancer) have shrunk even more.
Chemo starts again either October 30th or November 1st, but the blessing of that is no chemo during Thanksgiving week.
How many chemo treatments are left? 4
He weighs a scrawny 136 lbs. The surgeon prescribed him pills to help the stomach empty better and digestion run smoother. Even though he's eating great, he's not eating as much as the surgeon wants. So hopefully this plus his appetite pill = more eating = weight gain.
A total of 33 staples were removed between the last visit and today.

 
Please continue to keep Chuck and Sherlan in prayer!
