All done at the doctor. He said my scans are impressive and the tumor has shrunk by about 80%, and that what’s remaining could be nothing more than dead scar tissue. He said my chances of being cured have gone from 20% to 50%. Only time will tell, I have to get to 5 years without recurrence before they use the word cured. There’s always a chance that it is hiding and will come back. The new immunotherapy drug he wants me to take has gotten more good press since he first mentioned it so he said he’s confident my insurance company will approve it. It would be a one hour injection every 2 weeks for a year. He seemed really excited and said he even talked about me in a big meeting with other docs this morning. My brain is frazzled but in a mostly good way. I’m going to focus on the good and just live and enjoy and appreciate and be thankful for my blessings. Thank you all so very much for the good juju. It means more than I can say ❤️ On a side note I arrived home just in time to save a young squirrel from my angel cat Hank who desperately wanted to play come hide in my mouth. I’ve decided to call him Oscar and have him a big box with blankets to hopefully recover in. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻
