CT Scan

This week's news is that my CT scan was clear. This means no new tumors were found.
Good news!

Does that mean the cancer is all gone? No, it does not say. The cancer remaining in me after surgery was in the form of loose cells.
A CT scan does not pick up information that small. So there is no news at that level. The theory is that the chemotherapy is doing its job with those loose cells. And the fact that no new tumors/growths were found seems to support that.

So I will keep doing what I am doing, staying with the chemotherapy schedule, hoping, praying that the cancer cells themselves will all be found and destroyed by the chemotherapy.


Special bonus: My sister stopped by here on her way home (Erie, PA) from my mom's Mackinac Island Christian women's retreat. She told me about the retreat and how immigration changes have affected workers on the Island (familiar faces were missing).
