Jerri's pet scan results

Much needed good news!!! Jerri's pet scan last week came back clean. Guess I can stop drinking the Maalox now.

She had her third (of six) Folfiri treatment yesterday...this stuff is just really kicking her butt. She's asking me why she has to keep doing this if the pet scans have both come back clear. The first scan was right after surgery in November: clear.

Hope things are going well for all of you.

    That is good news and she is half way through...it will soon be over. Meanwhile I think they would want her to complete the course to make sure any tiny cancer cells are mopped up. You want to be absolutely sure none get away.

    All the best!
