Good News





Hello Everyone,
Here is the latest update.
Wednesday Sept 16th, 
I had another CT scan. I didn't expect to have it with the dye shot into me. Guess they needed to see more this time. Thursday had my blood work and saw my oncologist Dr Stephanie Hodson. Yes her middle name is Brook. (Spirit does have a sense of humor) LOL.
All of my numbers are good. 

 
She was so joyous. The cancer in my lungs is shrinking. This is an indicator that all is shrinking. They can’t take out any bone, as it would not grow back, so this is how they judge the progress. 


WONDERFUL news.
So me being me, I asked does this mean I will be cancer free someday. She stated no, but it does mean that the growth is not taking place as they thought it would. All I it is doing is helping to slow down the growth process.
It also means I WILL live longer. No, no one knows how long...Only God knows!
I am still trying to pay my deductible.
Anything you can donate will help!

I am grateful for all of you and the love and support you share.
Remember to tell someone you love them.
Love,

Stephanie
