Wonderful news yesterday!....

Hey everyone, just wanted to update you all on Jason. He got his first CT Scan done after starting the new chemo in June (let me backtrack a bit.....he had a CT Scan done back in June which showed that the football size tumor on/in/around his colon had shrunk by 50%, which was great, BUT the "one" liver met had not only grown but there were 3 others, so they changed his chemo from Oxaliplatin to Irinotecan (everything else stayed the same) oh, & he had a liver biopsy done also to see if the liver mets were actually coming from the primary colon tumor if they were something different altogether & it turned out to be the same thing, so they changed his chemo.....) SO, we got the results of his second CT Scan & as for the colon tumor, the radiologist said that whatever he is seeing is so tiny he can't tell if it's acutally "tumor" he's looking at or if it's just inflammation or thickening of the colon wall (I know....YAY!) BUT, the best news is that the liver mets have shrunk by 25% (in only 2 months on the new stuff) & there were NO NEW ONES! So YAY! Oh my goodness, I feel like a thousand pounds has been lifted from me, I have been worried sick (literally), so it's such a relief to know that things are going in the right direction at least. I know this isn't over, I know that Jason will have to fight this thing for the rest of his life, but I sure hope he has many, MANY more years left to fight! I just want to thank all of you for your love & support through this whole thing. I honestly do believe that my being able to sit down & read REAL stories about people who have actually beat this thing has helped keep me going....not to mention Jason, it has helped him SO much, so again....THANK YOU ALL!!!!! I'll keep y'all posted! ((((HUGS))))) Kris
