Hello All!
It's been awhile since I've posted anything - I guess that's because it's been awhile since anything of significance has happened - medically, that is.
Last Wednesday, March 2, Bob and I headed to OKC for me to have a PET scan, an MRI, lab work and two Dr. appointments. It was a long day but we fit it all in!!!
The radiation oncologist, Dr. Young, told us that the MRI was EVEN BETTER than before! The one last little spot on my brain is even smaller than before!! According to her the radiation should have been done doing it's work quite awhile ago - but, we all know who's doing the real work!!
The oncologist, Dr. Bova, didn't have the results of the PET scan yet, but my lab work was all good. For the first time in my life, I got in trouble for losing too much weight!!! I never thought that would happen. My appetite has been sporadic - nothing sounds good and most of the time when I start eating something it starts to gag me after just a few bites. So, since I can't eat much at a time, I've lost about 22 pounds in the last few months. So, now I'm drinking Ensure shakes and trying to eat more fattening things!! That's quite a switch for me.
On Thursday (the day after all of the appointments) we got the results of the PET scan - same as before - still good!!!
We're heading down to the Checotah/West Eufaula Lake KOA with our fifth wheel for a long weekend of rest and relaxation over Spring Break. We both really need to get away!!!!
Thank you for your continued thoughts and prayers! We really appreciate you all!!!

You've been in my prayers every day. I know, too, who is responsible for this improvement. Keep it up.
