Coming to you LIVE, from Strong hospital:)

Yep, back again, this week for just my monthly Zometa treatment, but wishing I didn't have to be here at all. Especially since, starting next Friday, I'm back on chemo. I met with my oncologist today, and overall, my PET scan results were good. All of the "old" lesions that were identified in August were less metabolic. That, combined with my CEA and cancer antigen numbers which are very good, means the chemo is working. The PET also showed some "new" lesions, but Dr Shayne feels those probably developed between the last PET and the beginning of chemo, but will keep a close eye on my numbers to make sure the chemo continues to work.

So, more chemo, but how can I complain? It's working, and the side effects so far are minimal, so bring it:). Plus, it doesnt interfere with work or my holiday plans for NYC with my sissy and girlies. I had Will shave my head this morning- the longer grays were depressing me;) and it looks better and more uniform now, just shaved to even out to the shorter parts.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to HTI in my honor after receiving a letter or through the ROC event yesterday- the more massages for more people with cancer the better! Thanks especially for all the hugs-they're an important part of my therapy!
