good Scan results for Mehpare :

[Guest guest]

Mehpare had a pet scan , cet, and an MRI this week as it was nearing

the middle of her Folfox & Avastine treatment, AND her liver

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..

With continued best wishes,
