Hi everyone, We will see the doctor on the 9th and I have many questions to ask as usual. He will most likely have another scan in three to four months. So that seems to be the plan and I (we) will take this as good news. I am always hoping for more but stable is good. Thanks for all the prayers and good thoughts and just for reading my posts. It does help! You guys are great at listening and giving informtion. Our thoughts are with all of you guys. Have a great day!! Paula |

News
Yes Mags, I agree that any news that isn't bad is good. I have said I stress out before his scans. He doesn't seem to stress at all he says "It is what it is". I am just happy that things are stable and some have improved. It is hard to see the fatgue and days that aren't so good for him but, I have him. Most days are good days.
I was concerned this time because his CEA had been up a bit.
Thanks for all your support.

Update
Paula,
I'm so glad that things are stable and the chemo is working. John also had some tumor shrinkage. (shrinkage: that used to be a scary word for men but now seems like good news! LOL)
Hold on to him and all the 'none bad news' that you can. Know that you are loved.

All in all this sounds like a good report. No growth, stable, shrinkage, all good news. Congrats. George is in the same boat, no surgery, yet, but we are hopeful. George is now on 5FU, Leucovorin and Avastin. Have you had any radiation or treatments to the mets yet? Any idea if anything more can be done besides more chemo? Another poster, Brenda, is is the same boat and you and I. We are both looking to find something more than just more chemo. Let us know what your onc says at your next visit. Take care = Tina
