Good News Again

Today, I received the results from the CT scans taken on Monday. It was all good news. Praise God! There was no change from the scans taken two months ago. The unknown spots remain the same size and the one remaining “tumor” did not change in size either. My cancer marker numbers remain in the 1.5-3.0 level down from 1691 when I was first diagnosed.  My labs look great.  My exam is normal.  Taking all of the information together, the oncologist believes that the one remaining “tumor” is likely not a tumor at all and is instead, either scar tissue or dead cancer cells. The unknown spots, he believes, are spots that occur sometimes in the liver with chemo patients. The oncologist does not believe that there are any new or active, growing lesions in my liver.  The current plan of treatment (with God’s help) is working and therefore, will continue.  Thank you for your prayers!  They are working.  God is so faithful and we are so very blessed.
