Good news

• Appointment with Dr. R for results of PET scan and treatment day #9

This week's appointment is moved up a day to Monday because of the Thanksgiving holiday. In order to be able to get fanny disconnected in 46 hours, I'll need to come in Monday/Wednesday instead of Tuesday/Thursday.

Hector and Laura are both with me for the appointment. While I may have heard some good news on Friday, today is the day that Dr. R is giving the full report. And it's good news! Great news! The PET scan shows that the active spots on the liver and one active lymph node have reacted well to the chemo and are resolved. We have a good and long conversation with Dr. R about changing my treatment to a more maintenance chemo at my next appointment. And for this appointment, we are discontinuing the Oxaliplatin, saving it for possibly using it again later and also because the neuropathy has gotten pretty bad.
