A stable scan sounds like good news. I wonder if they occasionally post the results earlier on line if it is good news? But not all the time. I guess you are always on edge waiting for the results. So your wait and angst is over for this round. Enjoy!

Eric:
This is great news! Sounds really good. Have you talked to Dr. K about the plans after the 12 rounds of Oxi? RFA maybe? I know she doesn't like others to guide her care...but maybe you could raise the issue in such a way that it is her idea?
