it was nearing

the middle of her Folfox & Avastine treatment, AND

function tests had results causing concern that either

there are

more problems in the liver or elsewhere ...or it could

be a result

of the chemo ... I for one proepared myself for the

worst and ...

GREAT NEWS- the scan showed REGRESSION in her liver

lesions!

" A shadow with nothing in it " is how it was described

( ? ) and

nothing nasty anywhere else, which is even more of a

blessing.

This is the first time a test result yielded smth

positive since the

beginning of the ordeal, for up to now we had had a

setback with

every turn. Needless to say we are elated. It was

the best news we

could expect under the circumstances. It feels like

an extension of

TIME to say the least. So far so very good.

Even though I had no time to post recently, please

know that we are

keeping abreast of ALL the developments , and think of

you all in

our prayers daily. I find it hard to describe to

friends and family,

the support this group generates..
