Who's tired of cancer talk? Then skip this post... its all I've got.
Just heard from Megan and Kevin. They've been in Houston for her monthly check up at MD Anderson. Yesterday was spent in clinic doing blood work, chest x-rays, CT scans and other fun stuff. Today was her day with the doctor. Her magnesium is a tad low (what a shocker...sarcasm), CA 125 went down slightly, from 149 to 143, and here's the biggie... drum roll please...
some of the tumor nodules in her lungs have disappeared and the tumor they are monitoring in her gyn. tract went down to less than 1 cm! Huge news! Big applause! Standing ovation!
Seriously, this is not a cure all. But it is the most hopeful news we've had in quite a while. This experimental drug might be the time buyer we've prayed for... Its hard to believe that after the horrible summer we had--a summer when I seriously thought I was going to lose my child before fall arrived--it looks as though we'll get to have a full out holiday season!
