I'd Rather Have a Horse

I was at Woodmans the other day buying carrots.  As I was loading seven 5lb. bags into the car a woman who had parked behind me came around from the back of the car.  She saw all of the carrots and asked if I had a horse. :)  I briefly explained that I have cancer and that I juice 5 lbs of carrots every day.   I explained that if it doesn't save me I know that it at least helps me feel much stronger.  She sighed sympathetically and as she walked away I laughed and yelled, "I'd rather have a horse!"   :):)

Feeling Grateful

I have had such a great summer!  I am so grateful!  Things are still looking pretty good.  I had a CAT scan last week to check the size of the tumors in my pancreas and liver.  I got the results today.  Because the comparative scans (from June to now) can be from different angles the dimensions of the tumors are not showing the same, but the oncologists conclusion is that the tumors are either about the same or even smaller than the CAT scan in June showed.  It is great news that they have not grown!  My antigen numbers have gone up from a low of 49 to 52 (two weeks ago) to 54 (last week). The oncologist considers those numbers to be about the same and is not concerned with the increase.
I will have a PET scan to see if there is any activity in the tumors after Christmas.  I continue to be so blessed!
