    Fantastic news. Salt restriction may very well be “temporary” and your husband will then be able to indulge a bit more.

    Well, we are Feb 20th now and Dr. Cranes words were: The tumor is dead. There is no longer a life threatening issue. We are seeing Dr. Herlong at MDA now as well to try and get the bile duct to open better. He is receiving meds to help with that. But, the tumor was large and the shape of it still appears on CT but it has become more of an appearance of a fluid filled sack with no cancer properties. Their explanation is that because the fluid is still there and other ascites from the radiation, his bile ducts are still somewhat restricted. So far, they have not had to put a drain in. His fatigue level is diminishing and ascites is as well. There is also no indication of liver disease. Praise God Almighty! Even doctor Crane came into our last appointment beaming with a bile smile. They know it is God’s hand with the treatments that made the difference. Mark is still jaundiced due to the bile duct not being open completely. But all in all he is doing really well and going to physical therapy twice a week to build back up. Hope to share more good news. The only negative is the 1500 sodium restriction to his diet that is being used to help get the ascites off. LOL, I guess if that is the worst thing we are dealing with now, we can jump and dance.
    Praying for all of you as well.
