I had a brain MRI this morning, then we had our appointment with Dr. Young (radiation oncologist) this afternoon. She said that my scan looked very good - as good as we could possibly expect!!! We got to see it and most of the spots are gone - one that was pretty big is very very small now and another one that was fluid-filled with a ring of some sort around it is now very small with a barely noticeable ring. I will have another MRI in 6-8 weeks and we will monitor the brain that way for awhile. Otherwise, Dr. Young said that if the spots stay the same as they are today, with no activity, she wouldn't mess with them at all. We are SO-O-O-O excited! Actually, I think I'm still in shock - it hasn't really sunk in yet.
I'm on my 3rd prescription medication for nausea, but I think this one is finally working - yay!!! I still don't have much of an appetite but it's getting better. I'm sure being a bundle of nerves the past couple of days hasn't helped things.
December 1 I will have a PET scan - that will be to look at my lung and adrenal glands, to see how the chemo drug is doing.
I get to start driving myself to work now - yippee!! Thank you so much, Brandon, for taking me to and from work these past few months - Bob and I really appreciate it!!!
Thank you for the prayers!!! They're working so far!!!!
Happy Thanksgiving! I'll write more after the PET scan on Dec. 1

Hey Bob & Allison, I am so very excited for you guys!!! God is Good and I know that all the prayers and your faith and positive attitude through all of this is what has gotten you the miracle you received last Wed. When I got your text Wed I just prayed and said Thank you Lord!! And I just know there will be another miracle when you get your PETscan on the first. I'm glad the nausia was better and you were able to eat more. Like you said Fri "Bob will be proud of me!". Love and hugs!!!
