Got the results of Tuesday's scans today. [Insert drum roll here.]
There is NO EVIDENCE of brain lesions anywhere in the brain.
The lung tumor is stable and INACTIVE.
We are stunned and delighted. Even the doctors were a bit surprised by this great outcome.
YIPPEE!! HOORAY!! WHOOPY! HAZZAH!
We are still going to pursue some focused radiation on the lung to zap any microscopic cancer that may still be there but not showing up on the PET scan. The focused radiation has a 90% success rate. I will also continue on the Tarceva as long as it seems to be working.
Although I'll never be able to say I am cured and the cancer can come back at any time, this is as close to being free of cancer as I can ever hope to come. I'll take it!
Please feel free to pour yourself your favorite alcoholic beverage and raise your glass in virtual celebration with Doug and me - you all get part of the credit for this wonderful news. I know the tremendous support I've received throughout this whole ordeal has a lot to do with this success. Thank you.
