Percentages

47%
How far Josh is through his first chemotherapy regimen of six 7-hour stints of toxins pumped through his body. On the drive down to Houston this time, he started feeling the discomfort in his stomach and esophagus that he gets after chemo. Psychosomatic.

57%
How far Josh is through this particular stint of chemo. He's lying in Treatment Room 15 (2nd floor near elevator B) right now watching a Robin Williams stand up comedy video with his brother. His parents were here for the doctor's visit today and hung out for the first couple hours of the chemo. I will drive Josh home to Murphy when he's done at around 1am so that he can deal with the worst of the after-effects there.

50%
How much Josh's tumors in his chest have reduced in size since his x-rays and scans 6 weeks ago, after only two stints of chemo.

20%
Percentage of people in Josh's situation who see such a good response from only two stints of chemo, per his doctor. Thumbs up!
