I've received a number of e - mails asking why I haven't posted the results from last week's CT scan. Guess that's what I get for announcing the end of this thing and then occasionally adding new posts. Sorry, didn't realize so many people were still looking.If the news was bad I'd be in my new Vette right now. GM lost another sale, the news was good. Very good actually.
Three months ago Dr Henning told us that nothing new "lit up"and that was a relief in itself. Yesterday he said the same thing and then added that a 5-6mm nodule that was present in the last CT has disappeared and the remaining two masses are close to half the size they were last April. Could it be that the teatments that ended six months ago are still perking ? Frankly, I was afraid to ask. Two more CT's @ 3 month intervals to go and if all is well, we shift to a 6 month schedule. This is dictated by the case study we're in rather than CT results.
I told Joe and Lorraine (before we got the above news) and I'll say it again, that all in all, this is one of the best summer's of my life. Hope you can say the same.
LIVESTRONG and please add my friend Brian in your prayers.

Fantastic news!!!!....and yes, it is a great summer...we all have so much in our lives to be thankful for. After we hit a "bump" in the rode and it seems like everything is falling apart and then we get over that hurdle and life is good, I think we appreciate things more, don't you? Seems like after a while though we (well, I) start taking things for granted again and complaining about trivial things :) and then I have to stop and think and give myself a talking too :). I am so happy for you and Joann. Please excuse me for blabbing in your blog so much, but I blame you, you got me hooked on this!!

Ken it is really great to hear how well you are doing. Waiting for the cat scan read is always scary. Even after being shown the cross sections I am not assured.
ReplyDeletePlease keep posting. Your words are a great inspiration for me.
