One Percent

I haven't looked it up but Dell tells me that there is a one percent chance of surviving stage four pancreatic cancer.  He has started calling me his one percent-er.  I hope!  My recent PET scan still shows no activity and my cancer antigen numbers have dropped another 7 points bringing my number down to 49.  I have learned that the Dr. is relying on the PET scan rather than the CAT scan (which only shows shapes and sizes) because it gives a much clearer picture of what is going on.  There will not be more treatments at this time because of those test results.  They will just monitor my blood at one month and again at 2 months with a Dr. visit.  Wahoo!  I feel free!!!  I will continue to take natural remedies including drinking the juice of five lbs. of carrots daily.  I may turn orange but that is ok with me. :)   Orange and very little hair.... CUTE !!!!!   :)  I will be back at Adrienne's for two more weeks and then home for a while I think.    Thank you so much for your continued prayers!!!!  Life is good!

Back and Forth

I have been in Utah for 2 weeks with family.  I tried some alternative treatments while there, saw a lot of loved ones, and visited some ancestral and family grave sites.  It was a great trip.  I am feeling pretty good and am back home for another pet scan and some blood work and then off to Jacksonville for a few days.  I will be back to see the oncologist at the end of next week and will find out the results of the scan and will  see what comes next.
