Like many others, I too have been away for a bit. It's been too hard to log on with all the craziness. John's recurrence and met to his lungs really threw us for a loop, especially after only 2 weeks prior, our MO said, "your BOT is clear, go celebrate!".
So here we are again, going through another chemo round. Just yesterday we found out the results of the CT scan and the chemo is working... 25% reduction in the size of the tumors! While this is not a cure, it's a reprieve, we know, and have to rationalize that every day. We are living life to the fullest and have had a fabulous Midwest Autumn.
As many have said before, "Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...it's about dancing in the rain." Thank you to all who impart their wisdom and help here. xo
