Good news yesterday! First CT Scan results after two rounds of chemo showed no further spreading and a 30% reduction in tumor size. And gained two pounds! This does wonders for your spirits and according to some lore I've read from you wonderful people signifies a birthday of sorts for us.

I just wanted to share some good news for a change.

Thanks for caring.

    Origin Of Name
    Hi William,

    Not quite sure of the origins of my name. I think it goes back to ten years ago when I was able to weasal out of a few bad situations with the boss. My best friend called me a sly dog as a result. Ha!

    Love your references to the childrens classics! I've read quite a few to my six children and seven grandchildren.

    Great idea of yours to explore the liver options. I'll discuss this with my oncologist next visit.

    Well take care William and Loretta. I always enjoy your most informative and caring postings to the CSN family!

    Paul,

    That's great news, the best analogy I can think of is I'm happier than a pig in crap for you. I hope it continues to get better every day. The small victories add up when you are at war.

    Best of luck to you,

    Rob
