i should have sd that i have been off chemo since dec17. so i am little surprised to see any shrinkage at all but again not enough to get excited about but i am going to do what i can to get as healthy as i can. i need to work out again and am going to get going on that. i hope that i am successful. my nodes in the upper tummy area do concern me but i will fight this all the way. right now chemo free and hopefully cancer free someday.

    Nettie, anything that isn't worse is fabulous!!! Enjoy the chemo free time. Once I started working out I felt MUCH better. Walks with the family are so nice.

    I know I say this to everyone, but yoga is great. It really helps with post-op pain. There are DVD/VCR tapes with stretches and breathing exercises - I love them. Gets you in shape and relaxes you. I imagine the deep breathing cleaning out my lungs of any cancer activity.

    Be well. You are forever in my thoughts. jana

    I don't know about the yoga, but the tandoori afterward is always good! YUM!!
