As I mentioned in a previous post, I had a chest scan Monday to verify whether the chemotherapy is working. We followed up with the doctor's office today because we wanted more detailed information. On Monday, we had just received a brief call with minimal information.Today we learned the scan showed that my tumor and lymph nodes had shrunk by 20-25%. Everyone's prayers are definitely working.
The doctor wants to do at least two more rounds (up to a possible 4 rounds of chemotherapy. (I have completed two rounds so far and working on the third round). At that point, we will do another scan and based on those results he will consider surgery. Prior to today we, didn't know when and whether surgery would be an option. Hopefully things will continue to progress as it has so far and we can have a successful surgery.
Thanks everyone for the thoughts and prayers.
