Nagative is Positive!

I finally got the results from the test and the result was negative, which is what we wanted. I don't have to go to San Antonio - that's where they were going to send me if the test was positive. I'm so grateful that I don't have to go out of town for treatments. I'm feeling good, probably since I've had a chemo break for the last several weeks. It's back to the infusion center on April 26th, but in the meantime, I'm going to enjoy this time. Celebrate every day, that's what I say...

Is the cure worse than the the disease?


Is the cure worse than the the disease? I doubt it, but it seems that way sometimes. I've lost 50 pounds! Last week they did a biopsy on the liver and an MRI on my brain. The MRI on my brain showed no activity (who knew?). That was good news.

They are going to use the tissue from the biopsy to do a test and based on the results they will recommend a cocktail of drugs to use.
