Hi all,
Hot off the press (and not just the outside weather): much to Laurie's delight (perhaps near ecstasy, perhaps kid in the candy store) her oncologist Dr. Yu gave her at least a temporary reprieve from a return to chemo today. She has been feeling much better for the last ten days and he wanted her to have a longer time of feeling better and stronger before making a next chemo move.
So the plan is that she'll have a CT scan again at the end of the month and then we will take it from there. Based on the amount of chemo Laurie had before nanoknife and what shows on the CT scan, it is also an option that she will not go back to chemo at all.
Hearing this news---which was not our expectation going into the appointment--- was like the governor called right before walking out of the jail cell to face the firing squad. As I said, Laurie lit up in delight. So, as always on this venture, even though the future is unknown, today was a good day and we're both happy to share this latest step with you.
with thanks and love,
Neal and Laurie
