It is a primary tumor, meaning it didnt metastisize from the tumor in his leg. The plan is to continue the radiation on his leg and finish that. He will also begin radiation on his head. So he will do both at once. He will also begin taking an oral form of chemotherapy. This treatment will last for 6 weeks. They will be finished and able to come home the Wednesday before his daughter Rachel's wedding. After that, I'm not sure of the plan, but hopefully he'll be able to be home for a long time before going back to Houston. If the radiation and chemo don't do what they anticipate, he may qualify for some clinical trials.
Please pray for the Stanhope family. Pray that Jimmy continues to have the strength and courage to keep fighting this battle.
