Hi everyone--
Yesterday, I got the results from my latest PET scan. There was no new growth, which is great, BUT there was slight growth in size & activity in the existing tumors. We’re taking this is a yellow flag of warning. We had decreased one of my two chemo drugs to only 1/3 of what I was getting before. We decided to stay with the drug combo that was working and increase back to 2/3 (not all the way). All in all, not the best news, but I’m still here and continuing on. They are also looking into another treatment for me that we will be checking into once school is out. I remain positive and strong in faith. Please do keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I continue through the summer.
