Latest Scans~News to Celebrate

Hurrah! The treatment is working! All you need to see is in the yellow circles, the glowing white areas are the tumors. The image on the right is when I was first scanned on October 27,2020 compared to the image to the left which was taken January 12, 2021 just last week.  The chemo-cocktail appears to be a good match for the tumors and they are disappearing. 

 

Current Scan on Left: 1/12/2021    Original Scan on Right: 10/27/2020

This makes the journey ahead all worthwhile, I actually have hope that I will be part of that 30% ‘cure-rate’. Fingers, toes and fins are crossed! 


We have enjoyed our respite of hiking around Palo Alto and exploring the campus but now it is time to return to our nest for the next 6 weeks. 




The next leg of this journey, aka the chemo+radiation marathon begins on Tuesday January 26th. I am sure it will feel interminable at times but the knowledge that the treatment is working and that there is a finish line on March 8 makes it all possible. 
 

Both Janet and I are ready to dive in and swim our way through as the cancer dissolves in our wake. 

 
Keep this image of us in your minds and hearts.
