Hi all-
I hope this finds all of you well! Andy and I went to the Dr today to discuss the findings of the recent MRI & CT Scan and the results were good. The tumor on the liver has shrunk a bit from 3.0 cm to 2.3 cm so the Sutent (chemo) is doing its job. They are going to compare the results from the scan in July to see if there is anything else that needs to be addressed.
The spinal tumors have shrunk and we will continue to monitor any type of growth. They will always be there until such a time as we either go for another type of radiation treatment or surgery. The key is to stop the growth of the tumor and it looks like they were successful!
They are changing my chemo dosage from 50 mg to 37.5mg, my bloodcount is getting too low and its a proactive movement by Dr Hutson.
On a more fun note - Halloween is coming up and we have been getting the girls outfits ready. One of my girl friends gave me a bumble bee costume for Natalie and Jordan is going to be a mermaid made with love and lots of do-overs by me! Its been a good experience - I am thankful for the process and the person who lent me the machine -hi Steph :)
My sister, Vicki and I are about to embark on our 3Day Breast Cancer Walk Nov 7-9th. We are going to walk as far as we can in memory of all whose lives have been touched not only by breast cancer (DJ - sister and 7 year survivor) but any kind of cancer. It will be a time of celebration for us and thank you so much for your donations - we are going to have fun!
My love and best to all- Have a Spooky Halloween!
Polly
