The Guvnor's reprieve

Actually, not the Guvnor but Dr. Schraeder.

He said, while not ideal, the CT scan showed stable disease and the PET showed a slight decrease in the amount of activity. What this all means in layman's terms is the cancer is still evident in the pleura of the right lung but it has not grown or migrated to another organ or another part of the body. My treatment regimen will continue with the Alimta and the Avastin every 3 weeks.

Honestly, the perfect scenario is that the cancer goes away all together but we all know that this is not a perfect world ! So I will take what's been dished up and continue to squeeze my treatments in between my travels. Anyone want to go somewhere ?

Carpe Diem.
