Finally Good News

I went in for my seventh treatment today.  It went good I would be lying if I said I am having fun or not getting extremely tired of all of this.  But I guess I am handling the treatments well and I am still able to do things and run.  I have worked up to about 5 1/2 miles a day on the treadmill and I think it really helps to minimize the chemo side affects. 

So I met with the doctor before my treatment today and he had the results for my latest ct scan.  It wasn't completely clean but it looked much much better.  I have 3 primary spots on my liver and a few tiny spots.  But with this ct scan the tiny spots were gone and the 3 spots (Which were about the size of a dime) are now about the size of a pencil eraser.  That is a huge improvement and the Dr said I am responding very well to the chemo.  When you look at a liver which is about the size of a football.three little pencil eraser spots don't seem very big.  I am sure the remaining treatments will take care of the crappy cells and I will be good as new.

Once again I really appreciate all the thoughts and prayers I know that without them the results wouldn't be nearly as good.

  1. That's such good news Dave! I know this will all just be a memory that's not so fond soon.
