Results

I got my PET scan results today.  We had prayed that the doctor would make the right decision for me and that we would know if his decision was the best for me.  I admit I was unusually calm and in control as he explained everything to us.  I accepted what he said.  There is,  for the first time since my Dec 2014 PET scan,  activity on one of the liver tumors.  The tumor in the pancreas has increased slightly in activity.  The doctor recommended I go back on the original 4 chemo drugs.  I have accepted this unwelcome news.  I will likely start next week.  This will be much harder chemo than I have been on since January.  I pray that  I will be able to tolerate it well.  Thank you for your love, support, and prayers.  We have at least one trip planned in the next several months and possibly more.  The doctor is always accommodating and supportive of that. We will see how that goes.

Twists and Turns

I have an adorable new grandson!  No. 17.   I am back from my Utah visit where I saw all my children, most of their spouses, grandchildren and my siblings!  It doesn't get any better than that!  I also got an email that I wasn't expecting with my antigen numbers.  They dropped 132 points!  I went to a very capable and gifted foot zoner in Utah.  (Somewhat like reflexology)  She had quite positive things to say.  I am feeling hopeful.  Monday is my PET scan and Wednesday I get the results.  Hoping for good results!
