Great News!

Yesterday I had my follow-up with Dr. Chahin to discuss the results of my CT scan. And.........the tumor is shrinking! THE CHEMO IS WORKING!!!! The Lord has been good to me. I give him all the credit- thank you Jesus. :) It's going to be a long journey as the amount of shrinkage was not an enormous amount but all I can do is hope for progress and that's happening. They did find a few lesions (cancerous) on my liver which is normal for this type of cancer and Dr. Chahin believes they are small enough the chemo will blast them away. That new information is still really scary- but I have faith the doc knows what he's talking about. We will continue with the same chemo regiment we are doing now and check for progress again in another two months. I'm so ecstatic about the great news but still not looking forward to months of chemo. Chemo is my friend though and I need her- I welcome her with open arms. :)

Saturday night we had a bonfire at the house. Penny and Colin came down for the night and our friends Matt and Jen came over. It was so relaxing.

Sunday afternoon we all went to the beach! The weather was perfect. Penny and I sat under the palm trees and read. Totally what I needed.


Pen- she looks so cute in the picture!!!


Thomas and the boys did a little casting netting in the lagoon nearby.
