Latest Scan Results Are In!!!

Ok, party people. In October 2008, my scans did not go well. The tumors had grown and there were new tumors on my lungs and the bone on my right arm. There was also a new spot on my brain where the previous tumors had been. I was pretty bummed which is why you didn't see any updates. The solution was to put me back on IV chemo and check back in 3 months.

Well, I just got the new scan results this week. This treatment is working amazingly well. ALL the cancer shrunk throughout my body. The new spot on my lungs shrank to just 3mm. The tumor markers dropped significantly (one is actually in the normal range). Best of all--regarding my liver--the two remaining tumors were "barely evident" on this CT scan. WOOHOO!!!

Yes, my hair has fallen out for the 2nd time, but it's worth it for such good news. We check in on the brain in mid-February and the doctor is hopeful that this IV chemo will cross the blood/brain barrier and knock it on out of there.

Keep praying that this works!!! YAY! 2009 is going to be great!
