Hooray!!!

This was a BIG day. I've been doing the treatments of Faslodex and Zometa since January and today was the day to evaluate the effectiveness of the past six months.

Got there about 10am, did my CT scans first, then had a lunch break and came back for the bone scan at 1. Finally saw my Dr. around 3.

She said "It looks good, these are good! The CT scans look fine, no new areas or concerns. And the spots that we are watching, the L3 and the T10 are healing. This is good...it is healing." (The T10 is the vertebrae that had a small spot of cancer; the L3 was being watched closely.)

WOOHOO!!!! I asked her if the cancerous spot on the T10 was smaller. She said that's not how it works with cancer on the bone. If it was on an organ, we would want the tumor to get smaller. But in this case we want the bone to grow bigger and restore the area...and that's what is happening. The bone is being restored.

Wow...SO, SO, SO happy!!! I feel like this is a major shift back to healing and wellness. I will continue with the treatments...I go back on Monday, but the main thing we know now is that this is working! I would have loved to have heard her say "We just don't see any sign of cancer at all". But there are different ways to heal...sometimes instantly, sometimes a process. I am "in process". That's totally fine with me. :-)

My heart is FULL of thankfulness as I head to bed tonight. Thankful to God for this great report and thankful to so many who are praying continuously for me.
Praise to God Most High for His love and mercy and healing in my life. I am SO grateful!

YAY GOD!!!

But as for me, I will always have hope;
I will praise You more and more.
My mouth will tell of Your righteousness,
of Your salvation all day long,
though I know not its measure."
Psalm 71:14,15
