Great News!!

Yesterday was scan day. They were extra nice and called us last night with same day results. My brain looks stable!!! No growth and no new tumors! The spots in my abdomen are completely gone as well. This means the zelberaft worked and completely got rid of the spots in my tummy!! The brain is the result of the whole brain radiation. So we are good!!!

They are looking at clinical trials now to see what else we can do. Right now we are not doing anything other than still hearing. I still cant eat, due to severe ulcers in my mouth and tounge. They have me going for daily fluids which wipes me out. I just sleep most days since I cant eat or drink. I am starting to feel better though. I feel good after the fluids, but have to nap. All I do is seem to sleep.

We are very excited with this news, just trying to heal at this time. We talk to the doctor next week to see what our options are, and what we think we will do next. As soon as we know any new info you guys will also know. :)

Im still very very weak (due to no food) I have to have Eric help me walk, and I cant even get out of the recliner without help these days. It is a temporary side effect of all the drugs, and lack of food. Soon that should resolve itself as we keep getting getter.

I still need your prayers so please keep praying for me. Your kind words and prayers keep me going. Love you guys. YAY for good news!!!
