Hello everyone--
Well I got good news today. My scan shows that basically everything except one of the nodules has continued to shrink in both size and activity! :) That one stubborn nodule has grown very little. So we are going to keep on this same chemo regimen and then they are going to refer me to a radiation oncologist to see if a new type of pinpointed radiation is an option to shrink or get rid of the one nodule. I have been through radiation before and it was nothing compared to chemo, so if it will help to get rid of the one nodule, then great.
In other news, I will be having a second procedure at Stanford on my vocal cord to see if we can get my voice back to normal. The surgery will be Monday, 11/22.
I thank you for all the support & prayers you've given me. Can you believe in about another week it will be five years since they originally diagnosed my cancer? I am truly blessed to still be walking among you, and I plan to continue doing just that!

Hello everyone--
Well it's been a couple of months, so I wanted to update you. I had a good scan after my first two rounds on this chemo regimen. Now I've completed three more rounds, so I will be having a PET scan 7:30 Wednesday morning. Other than being a little weakened by the chemo, I've been feeling great. Please do keep me in your thoughts and prayers for a clean PET scan on Wednesday. I truly appreciate all the support you've given me. I should have the results Friday or Monday and I will update the blog when I get them.
