things are looking up

i got my PET scan results and the votes are in. the cancer that was on my bones are no longer there. I'm all clear on my bones!!!!! we are heading in the right direction! chemo is working! my main tumor is there but Dr. Chen said there is no activity going on. it may just be dead cells that are there. But even with all this good news there is a little bit of bad. On the scan there was a little spot that showed up near my esophagus. its about 1 centimeter. they aren't totally sure as to what it is so this Monday I'll be seeing the stomach doctor again and they will be putting a camera down my throat to check it out. i'll keep you all posted.

but over all things are looking up. my war against cancer is still on its way and it looks like i'm winning! Juanita: 1 Cancer: 0
