Cancer: DEFEATED! In Remission

I have wonderful news to share with everyone today.

The P.E.T. results have come back and Sue was informed that the cancer is remission!

Dr. Lam said the scan “shows nothing”. And I quote “the best possible result” and from her point of view she is very happy with that.

Celebrations!! We are of course very relieved as I’m sure you all will be as well.

White blood count was also improved, back up to 6.2 this time.

Chemo Round 5 was administered this morning and Sue will still have to complete Round 6 in 3 weeks because this is standard proceedure.

Another follow-up P.E.T. Scan is scheduled for June 15th to confirm all. This is also standard, always scans after #4 and #6.

As to her L3 spinal fracture that was caused by this, Lam said it appears to be healing, the bone has been building back up, but that she still needs to avoid certain exercise. Only walking & aqua/pool exercise are safe until further update.

An additional MRI Scan is going to be scheduled (we don’t have a date yet) in order to look more closely at the spine before they can give her a better assessment of fracture risk.

All in all, hugely positive progress so far and we are very happy and much relieved! 🙂
