Good News

Today, we met with Judy's oncologist, Dr. Ahmed.  He shared the results of the CT scan Judy had on Monday.  There is no growth in either of the lesions within Judy's lungs.  In fact, there is evidence of necrosis (dead tissue within the lesion).  The chemo is working.  Furthermore, the lesion in the pelvic area has not grown. The plan is for Judy to have another CT scan when she has completed four more chemo treatments...likely 3 months from now.

The biggest challenge is keeping Judy on  a regular chemo schedule without delays.  Judy will continue with the injections she is giving herself to boost her white cell count.

The other good news is: Judy's blood work today indicated her white cell count is 1.32; therefore, she will be having chemo number four tomorrow at 9:30 a.m.

Judy continues to look and feel good.  She has had no nausea or cold sensitivity.  She is taking care of herself and resting in the afternoons.

Thank you to everyone for your prayers and encouragement.  God is good.
