That is good news. You now know from the 'big boys' that you are getting the correct treatment and the damn thing hasn't spread anyplace else. That alone would be reassuring for me. Let's hope the next MRI shows that it has shrunk some more. You can always go to MD Anderson in the future if things change. And if you went for a consult,you don't necessarily have to have the treatment there, you might be able to have it at a hospital where you are covered.
Good luck on your next round of therapy and hope you are eating well. Think you made a good decision for now.
Take care,
Eileen
