Chrisy,
I am glad that the pesky tumor is going to get hit with another round of the new drug combo. Wouldn't want to toss out a potentially winning combination due to technical and human limitations of scanning processes.

But then...easy for me to say...the hurry up...no wait....hmmm??? mode certainly is stressful.

I am glad that those fancy pants Drs understand that you are the center of the universe. You will have to give us a class on how your coached them on this fact.

Here's to another powerful cocktail...cheers....Lori
