Well, Chemotherapy session #3 is in the books, but its after effects will happen over the next 3 weeks. Rumor is that this one will be tougher, but we'll have to wait and see.
We got Thursday's PET scan results back, and we can share those with you. The doctor is very encouraged at what he saw after only 2 treatments.
The image on the left is from January scan, and the one on the right was from last week. Note that the left image shows the heart as a "hot spot" but this is not anything to worry about, its just the nature of the scan. Also, these images are in layers, and these are the layers that showed the most activity.
Holly's stress levels, though high, are a little lower after seeing this. I think all of us feel the same. Its nice to see progress being made!

Hang in there Holly. Those before and after images speak volumes! That's good progress even though it don't feel very good. Thanks for the update, Jeff.
ReplyDeleteThanks David, Can't believe how much I had in the first place, but I also can't believe how much they shrunk, some are even gone! Still hoping I can get it done is 6 cycles!
ReplyDeleteWOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Things are really clearing up! This is great news Holly - congrats on the good work zapping those suckers. Loving the updates, Jeff! Thank you. :-)!
ReplyDeleteI had to comment as 'anonymous' since I didn't know how to sign-in with the choices given. I'm a bit computer challenged...Anyway, I just wanted to say, Way to go girl! I just knew you could bust those nasty bad cells apart. Keep up the good work. Leslie Jenks
