2/22/09 Great update

Awesome news! My tests that previously showed two tumors in the liver have now reduced to the smallest one no longer shows as being there and the larger tumor reduced by 45%!!! The bone tumor looks better (of course, radiation helped there) and the color of my breast looks a lot better and there are NO NEW TUMORS!!!! I feel that I would not have had these results at VCU because they could not make up there mind what to do, so am so happy that I am going to Duke (288 miles, but every mile is worth it!) We had late chemo yesterday so we did not get home until 9:45 p.m. but I can rest today. My doctor also approved my planned trip to Sanibel Island, FL for the 13-20th of March, so am estatic about that too. I just really need a break from the house, from the worry, from the same old stuff every week, so am really looking forward to the trip we have tried to plan for the past 4 years. I feel that all of this good news is due to all of the prayers and I thank God and my friends everyday for caring about me which gives me the strength to meet the everyday challenges. Love to all, Janice
