and...
I had a notification from Guardant that my November blood test results were available. The results show that the amount of DNA in my bloodstream with my cancer mutation has DECREASED. It's likely a sign that my cancer is not as active, hopefully thanks to this past summer's Y90 and cryoablation procedures and my current chemo regimen of Xeloda and Avastin. It's not the ND (Not Detected) that this test measured last year when I was also having NED (no evidence of disease) scans but it's ZERO POINT TWO PERCENT. And that feels like a win. Just what I needed today. Guardant's testing is still new technology so it's hard to know exactly how to interpret the results, but I look forward to discussing it more with Dr. T the next time I see him (in January after my next set of scans.) Until then, it's Merry Christmas to me!
