I know-I know--it's not Monday...but I couldn't wait to share the news. I already got the results online from my CTscan yesterday and this was the summary:
"Impression:
1. Two liver lesions are visible in the right hepatic lobe which have substantially decreased in size.
2. No other evidence of metastatic disease in the chest, abdomen or pelvis."
*********************
I had three tumors in the liver...but once before they could only see two, so it's possible the third one (not in the same vicinity) is still there but smaller or it is COMPLETELY GONE, eh? One down and two to go??!!
Regardless..."substantially decreased in size"! OMG! :) :) :)
I am having an infusion next Friday and will see Dr. McCune. He'll explain the results and all that--but it sure seems pretty clear, doesn't it?! McCune might be surprised--LOL!
SUCH GOOD NEWS!!! I had to share with all of you who have been pulling for me all these long months. All this insanity was worth it and still is. AWESOME!!
Thank you for each positive thought and prayer.
This stoic Swede actually cried a happy tear or two.
Bless you!
See you Monday!
:) :) :) :) :)
