Chemo 5 - Super News!!!

I had my 5th chemo treatment today. Before the treatment began I met with the oncologist, Dr. Popatia. He did measurments today...

the tumor has indeed shrunk - the chemo is working - I cannot be more excited that I am indeed going through all of this for a positive outcome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Measurments for my first day of chemo were 5cm long and 4 cm wide. New measurements are 4cm long and 3cm wide. Next measurements will be taken in January.

My treatment went fine, no weird reactions. I am tired, and I will nap when my hubby gets home soon.

I meet with my surgical oncologist, Dr. Kelly Hunt, on Monday at MD Anderson. We will discuss surgery options. I will post again after that appointment.

We are steadily getting ready for the holidays. By the time I get everything up and ready Christmas will have passed me by. I am really trying to focus on the real gift of Christmas and not all the wrapping. I want to have a "mary" christmas. So what doesn't get done, just doesn't get done. As long as I have my friends and family.
Again, thanks to all the meals this week, the babysitting, the rides, emails, and phone calls! All of you are such a blessing!

love,
Terrie
