Bone Scan yesterday
Yesterday Joe went to Strong for a bone scan to determine if he has additional tumors on his back or on his ribs, as Dr Chen believes. We won't have the results from this scan for a few days. He was pretty beat after the 2 trips to the hospital - one for the radioactive dye shot and the other for the scan itself. My dad brought him to the first appointment and dad and Phyllis brought him back for the actual scan. He sat for the scan - which is good!
We see Dr Kohli on Monday to deterine if Joe is healthy enough for a second round of chemotherapy - or if he should have a few radiation treatments to help reduce the pain. I am keeping my fingers crossed that his blood levels are healthy enough to withstand a second round.
We're taking it one day at a time....and looking forward to seeing many of you on Sunday. Brian Geer is a wonderful entertainer and Joe's band is terrific. It will be a night of celebration, family & friends. Thank you all for making it possible.
Love
Vicki, Gina & Tom

Hey uncle joe this is your nephew joe martyniuk. I have been reading your blog here at work and i hope you will be able to keep that chemotherapy up and running. I know that it's tough but i'm sure it will all be worth it in the end when you are all better and writing me to ask me to come up and ride some dirt bikes. I hope all is well and you get better soon. Don't forget to coin check some people too, you have to get those free drinks in sometime!!! Love you guys. Joe
