NEWS Flash!!

So anyone who doesn't believe in miracles, you might want to re-think that possibility...

Got CAT scan results today and the primary (4cm) colon tumor is GONE!! The oncologist asked the radiologist to take another look (I don't think she could believe they couldn't find it...) and nope, no tumor visible!! I think that qualifies in the miracle category!! And besides that, liver tumors have shrunk to 1/2 the size they were - with only 4 treatments!

AWESOME!! GRATEFUL!! MIRACULOUS!! WOOHOO!!

Met another sweet nurse soul today. Talent and compassion in staff at MDA seems unending. Love those nurses!!!


CHEERS!! (with apple cider, of course! :>)

It's WORKING!!

Returned from the islands and back to chemo...GREAT news from lab work today. The doctor was very surprised and pleased to tell me that my tumor markers have plummeted from 23,000 to 1,000. Quite a fast response after only 3 treatments. I know all the prayers and healing, positive energy sent are making a huge difference. Thank you all for your amazing support. Will get a CAT scan later this week that should confirm the shrinking of tumors. We are thrilled! It's working just the way we'd hoped (actually I think we're ahead of schedule).

Thought I'd add a few pictures from our vacation (the "island therapy"). Next we move on to "wedding therapy", "hiking therapy" and there's the constant of "work therapy" that feeds my soul...all important adjuncts to the chemo.






I am so GRATEFUL for all your loving support.

Thank you.
