That pretty much says it all. It was at fourteen something when I started and it's still going in the right direction. PET scan Friday should (hopefully) show shrinkage I would think:)
Remember me in prayers, thoughts, etc.!

That is very good news and shows that your chemo despite all the problems and inconveniences it has caused you is working. I too will offer my best wishes and prayers that your PET scan shows lots of shrinkage in those nodules and enlarged lymph nodes.
Good luck Friday.

After 8,5 years living with CRC, Pete passed away on 17/4/2012. We had lots of quality time, we said our goodbyes! I am at peace because he doesn't suffer anymore! He is now better off with the Lord! We will surely miss him very very much!!
