Well, I got my results today and I have good news and bad news. The good news is that the liver lesions have decreased a lot and the bone disease remains stable. The doctor is pleased with this but as a precaution, he wants to continue chemo for 3 more months (the bad news). I had a treatment today and it really isn't that inconvenient, I would just like some of the side effects to go away. He did decrease the dose of Taxol by 10% more (20% altogether since he reduced it a month ago by 10%). That is what causes the neuropaathy, so hopefully that starts going away.

My mom and dad both went with me today and we went to lunch after because today is my dad's birthday, so we went to his favorite restaurant In-N-Out (truly his favorite!). We had a nice time and Kelsey met up with us too.

I see the orthopedist on Monday and I also have an MRI coming up to try to get my legs back to normal, so I would love it if you pray for those things.

I had a great day on Tues. & Wed. of this week. I worked longer than usual at work and still had energy when I got home and Wed. I actually went out shopping (which I haven't done for a looonngggg time). I have had more energy and even today has been good so far.

I appreciate your care & concern and all your prayers & support!!!

Oh yeah, the compression fractures I had in my back did not show up on the PET scan and I don't know if they should or not, but anything makes me happy and I don't have pain in my back, which I appreciate.

  2. Congratulations. So very happy for all the good news. Even having to do more chemo is good news, because at least that means it is working well enough to continue. Praise God for all the healing to your body and soul. Praise God for all the reminders of how precious life is and that we all need to live it to the fullest in His Name each and every day.
    We continue to pray for more healing, more energy, more faith in us all!
