More Scantastic News
Just got the results from my latest PET/CT scan and this line says is all:
"No evidence of new lesions or progression of disease."
The spots we were worried about on my lungs and spine are regressing and have decreased in size.
So relieved. My tumor markers had been slowly climbing but they are back down again and nearly in the normal range.
Thank you so much for your continued support and prayers. My thoughts and prayers are with this family all of the time.
