CQ the 75m OF medical net..the good news is official.

Had a scan on Monday. Today, my oncologist's words were, "Significant Shrinkage - 30-50% in all tumors, both in my liver and the main mass on my esophagus.

I wept when I heard that, it was such an incredible relief to know that all I gotta do, for now, is to continue on this very tolerable course of treatment.

Thanks to all of you who sent along your warm support. It was really appreciated, and it's working! There's proof of that.


BTW...I know of two other hams who are in great shape many years after getting the same diagnosis. Look like I'm going to be another one!

Thanks again!

Vy 73 to all,

Paul

Great news, Paul, congratulations!

(Last time I had news of "significant shrinkage," it was delivered by my ex when she was in a really bad mood...)

Thanks, Carl. Yea, about the fine print, been there, done that! But for this OF whose hormones haven't raged for decades, it was a relief!

Appreciate the support.

Thanks, Kelly. Will check out that vaccine.

Reminds me....

Currently at Radio Shack you've got the option to donate to cancer research when you check out. I always give 'em $5. Obligated to. I'm benefiting a lot from cancer research. Just today my doctor told me that for treatment like mine they used to do a bigger dose over a week, and that really messed up the patients. Thanks to the research, they found this treatment plan that's just as effective and leaves the patient fully functional with mild (that's an understatement - I say practically non-existent) side effects.

IMHO, that's research at its most effective best! Probably won't "cure" me....but it WILL keep me fully functional for a long, long time.

Thanks for the good words.
