What a day! Almost 12 hours from the doctor's office until I finally got finished with the new chemo treatment at the hospital.

Since they changed the chemo, they won't lower the steroids until they know how severe the side effects are. And you should see me typing right now! Quick bursts of typing, then I have to stop and back my mind up because it is going even faster than my fingers can type. Wheeeeeee!!!!!!!!!

The news is a mixed bag, and, according to Dr. Conkright, impossible. So I will sandwich the two bad parts between the two great parts.
Remember the MRI I had to go in for after my CAT Scan? The lesion on my brain is really gone! This has Dr. Conkright happily baffled.

Apparently, the chemo doesn't reduce brain cancers. But prayer can and did. Reduced it right out of existence.
The reason he started me on a more aggressive chemo was the spot on my liver and the two spots on my bones. They grew a little bit.

But this new chemo ought to get it.

It is more aggressive than the one he was going to change it to. Me and my big mouth.

I told him how few side effects I had been having, and I swear he got this evil grin on his face.

I think it was aimed at the cancer. I asked him if I was going to regret telling him that and he grinned again. Said it was too late, I couldn't take it back. He almost ran out of the room to call the hospital and see if he could get the new treatment scheduled today.

I really love that man.

He fights this cancer like it is threatening him or someone in his family.
Now for the other great news! That 9 cm. mass is now down to less than 2 cm!

No wonder I am breathing so much better!!!!
Between prayer and chemo, we are well on our way to beating this. I got a really sweet lecture from Dr. Conkright about not getting upset about having to go to a more aggressive treatment. He wanted to be sure that I focus on the good news from the CAT Scan and MRI.
I think I figured out what happened. I think we focused the prayers and healing energy on my lung and brain. After all, the large mass was in the lung and a lesion on the brain is just plain scary. So now I have to remember to focus some energy to my liver and bones.
Thank you so much for your prayers.
