Red face Thank Heavens and Earth

Dear Beautiful Friends,

There is no new terrible news regarding my scans!
Thank you for all your encuaragement and prayers!
The lung nodules are a little bit larger by 1mm each dimension and there are only two of them, no new ones.
The various lymph nodes in the chest are each smaller by a small amount, and there is one new one developed (right supraclavicular). Oh well, life is not perfect! Yes, also there is a tiny amount of pericardial fluid.
I take all this as good news right now, what I was really scared of that I would have a host of new lesions all over. Maybe I can still just stay on Tykerb and Xeloda, any opinions?
I will let you know how it goes with my doctors in the next couple of days and thank you thank thank you for caring, it is so exciting and comforting to have you all care about what is going on with me!

I will keep all of you in my prayers as well,

xoxo,

Odette
