Bummer!

I got the results from the last CT scan that I have been waiting on. The news is not good. The existing tumors are growing - all of them - and there are new ones in the abdomen and lymph nodes. My hopes for radio-frequency surgery are dashed, and my second hope that things would not be worse didn't work out. They still have a few treatment possibilities but it's all experimental now and I may not even be a candidate for some of them. What a bummer!

The good news is I can stop chemo for now, maybe forever. We'll see. If the tissue sample says I can try one of the treatments I will begin that in a few weeks. We'll keep an eye on things with more scans scheduled in January.

I still feel pretty good for now, and that is something I'm very grateful for. Whatever happens, it's all good! It's been good, it's good now, and it will continue to be good!!
