Hey all~
Got a surprise late afternoon phone call from a woman who felt it necessary to call me. She had the radiologist's report in-hand (from my MRI this morning). In June, my main tumor (the "Big One") measured 4.0cm x 2.9cm x 2.5cm. She wanted to call to tell me some good news - the type of news she could tell I hadn't gotten much of along this journey thus far. I am so thankful she decided to call; she didn't have to today.
First of all: AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH - yes, Yes, YES!!! The best news so far along this journey:
The Big One is now measuring in at: 2.4cm x 1.7cm x 1.5cm. A decent decrease is now evident in the metabolic activity of this crap inside of me. Hallelujah! All other areas of enhancement (in my breast and my effected lymph nodes) on the MRI also show similar decrease in size/activity.
I feel like my roller-coaster chemo ride is vindicated by this news. And it is awesome to have solid, non-biased evidence that I have dealt this cancer crap a swift round of jab-cross-hook-uppercut punches! After an exhilarating weekend recharging and reconnecting with Joshua, and now this dynamite news, I am ready not only for tomorrow's chemo session, but for the remaining two treatments afterwards. Bring it.
