No News is Good News

Okay, so "no news is good news" isn't always the case, but this time it is!  I've been having too much fun over the last couple of weeks and have been neglecting my blog.  So let me catch you up to speed...

Because we got such amazing results from this last PET scan, we're going to stick with the chemo cocktail I'm on for another couple of months.  If we can get down to 1 manageable lesion, then Dr. H said they can go in there and cut, snip, freeze, or whatever it is they can do to "get rid" of the cancer cells/lesion.  Woohoo!!  From there we'll discuss possible surgeries... Surgeries haven't been an option for me up until this point because we needed to get everything under control w/ my liver.   From there I'll be on a maintenance program which can be anything from taking oral drugs, infusions or possibly a combination of both... but at least it won't be as aggressive or as intense as it is right now.  Not only will this help w/ the bone mets, but hopefully prevent the cancer from spreading back to my liver or anywhere else in my body for that matter.

I'll keep you posted if anything changes or if I come across anything interesting, funny or anything I just have to or want to share!

Btw, I'm feeling great!  After recovering from my infections and getting great news from my PET, I've been enjoying the hell out of the last couple of weeks!  ;)
