Two Christmas's Scan Results

Well, the results were actually pretty good and encouraging. The tumors in my lungs have shrunk as a result of the chemo and they could not find any growths in my face. I guess this is what they call a 'partial remission'. For an extremely rare and dangerous cancer such as this, I consider this to be very good news indeed. My doc says we can decrease the amount of the chemo med I am taking to try and make me feel better since the current dosage leaves me very tired and sore. This medication was chosen for me by genetic sequencing which is quite new. It sounds like it saved my life. Needless to say, I am feeling a whole lot better about things tonight. I am on a two week hiatus from the 'poison pills', so I hope to start feeling better in the next few days. Many thanks to all who have been wishing and praying for me. This certainly does not mean that the battle is over, but it is a good thing.
