Well, today was great news! I tried to be calm but it's hard not to be a little nervous about seeing the scans. By the time we got the news I wasn't sure how to be feeling....I was sure thankful for the results though! I believe we are on the right path and and taking it all one step at a time. I feel like seeing our scans was a short break time to lift our heads and say Thank you Lord!!! Then it was time to put our heads back down and get back to the good ol' grind of beating this cancer by jumping back into the chemo chair right after seeing the scans. So thanks for rejoicing with us in this journey.
A few details... Originally I had at least 7 cancer tumors on my liver the sizes of a quarter and a couple of real big ones. Today we could only see one the size of the end of your finger and one other real small one. The tumor in my breast was at least 2 centimeters in the beginning. The radiologist reported he had a difficult time finding where the tumor was. (He couldn't find it.) He did say it could be there but be the same consistency as the breast tissue...but even so, that's progress in my book! The tumors in my bones looked a little brighter today. Dr. Malhi explained that meant they are beginning to heal. Bones take longer to heal but when it appears brighter on the scan, that means the new cells are growing and the cancer cells are dying. Yeah!!!
It looks like we are on the right road to healing. Honestly, I know God is in control of it all and I am thankful to be in His hands. Regardless of the reports, I know that is a safe place to be. However we are extremely thankful for the good progress!!! We are continuing to pray for a BIG miracle of complete healing and thanking God for the progress along the way.
Keep looking up!
