I had a good report on my last C.T. scan. The four largest tumors in my liver were measured and they have all shrunk by 1 cm in both directions. There are no new tumors and the spots in my lungs still remain unchanged. For right now I will stay on this chemo that is working on the slow growing cells. The doctor says if it stops working we will look again at the chemo embolization of the liver. After voicing my concerns about all the side effects that I experienced with the last round of chemo my doctor reduced the strength of the chemo and came up with some simple solutions for the other side effects. He wants my to have quality of life too. I'm looking forward to Christmas and am expecting to feel well enough to enjoy everyone and everything. I just had a wonderful Thanksgiving with my whole big family together in the first time in years. I am so blessed to have the love of family and friends and God has been so good to bless me with strength and recovery.
