Wow, Patrice. We should connect. I am doing well. My bone scan showed progression, but no new lesions and my oncologist said it can light up from healing. My cat scan showed improvement with a few lymph nodes that had enlarged due to the bone mets, and my MRI is fine. Everything else is NED. The good news is that the CEA went from 17 to 7. This marker is the best indicator for me. It was out of control because I was off treatment for so long.

I feel this is a great trial and I hope more members will have the opportunity to try it. It is easy to tolerate and I am able to continue my teaching.

Best regards and Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate.
