WAHOO!!!!!!!

Can you see me doing my Happy Dance?

Well folks on Wednesday the 16th of January I had my Pet/CT scan at Hartford Hospital and on the 18th I had my appointment with Dr Baker (Oncologist). The first words out of my mouth were "How was my scan?" He looked it up on his lap top and gave me the GOOD NEWS! The bigger of the two tumors is not taking up as much glucose as it was last time. This means there is less cancer activity. The smaller one gave up the ghost a while back. The lymph nodes in the lung area are also getting smaller and they didn't see the ones in the center of my chest! I think Dr. Pope sucked them out when he did the biopsy LOL!

The best part is that it seems to be contained in the chest area and there is nothing going on anywhere else in my body. This is by no means a guarantee that it won't go someplace else but I am one happy camper right now.

Dr. B. is now thinking radiation to kill it off completely and hopefully for good. It would mean at least 5 weeks of 5 day a week radiation and I don't look forward to that...But if there is a chance that it would annihilate the cancer I guess I can deal with that.

I am not sure if it will be chemo and radiation or just radiation...but in the mean time we will continue with the chemo...Chemo is my friend!

I will keep you all updated...but till there is something new to report (or my life gets interesting) I am signing off for now.

Love you all and many thanks for all the thoughts and prayers!
