Longhorn's Journal

I saw the physician's assistant yesterday. She talked to the radiologist and was able to confirm that my latest C-T scans of my lungs and pelvis show -- I believe the medical term she used was "way smaller" tumors. The tumor in my uterus is so small that the C-T scan results are within normal parameters. The next scan will be an MRI.

Because the cancer has been so responsive to the chemo, we have decided to keep going with it for six rounds. I've had two rounds so far and start my third round tomorrow.

I've been doing well with the chemo so I don't mind too much that I'll be having more of it since it's working so well. I think acupuncture and Chinese herbs are helping me with side effects, as well as the amazing anti-nausea and cell-building drugs.

My results are so unexpected that the medical professionals at the cancer center are giddy with excitement. I think I'm trying too hard not to get my hopes up and I should celebrate this news more. I could use your help! Thanks!
