Hey--some good news
It seems like I'm always on here with something icky. Well today I have something positive. My CAT scans show no more disease. The MRI of the brain shows no activity (oh, I mean tumor activity). The three small tumors are gone and the larger one on the cerebellum has shrunk from 12 mm to 7mm. The onc is not concerned about the remaining thing, unless it grows. I will be scanned every four months to make sure all is well.
Yippy!
