Good Scan Results!

So we got our scan results yesterday. My body is clear. I originally had a spot on my spine and some lymph nodes we were watching, but they are now gone. The spot on my spine was attributed to my leg issues and why I could not walk a few weeks ago. That, like I said, is completely gone. The only things remaining are the tumors in my brain. The good news is they shrank greatly!!!!! One tumor went from 5.5 to 3.5 centimeters. Thats crazy. Which also means the chemo is working.

So the good news is its working. The bad news is Im still having issues tolerating the treatment. They discovered that my stomach lining is a disaster (hence the puking). We added a new medicine that is supposed to heal my stomach lining. Once healed I shouldn't be nauseous anymore. The meds they gave me have started working on the diarrhea as well. These things have to be under control for me to continue taking these drugs. I simply can't stay chained to a toilet the rest of my life. You may ask "well how long can you expect to stay on this chemo?" My answer? The rest of my life….. So our goal is to get me able to tolerate it, and be able to leave the house. :)

Overall good news. We are still working the kinks out, but I have a bunch of people cheering me on. There may be a light at the end of this long tunnel yet.
