We all know that Ginny-Mom is a strong woman, but she is proving it to us all once again. The chemo is working and it's working even better than the doctors expected. Specifically, the primary tumor has shrunk to 1/3 of its original size. My dad sketched out the dimensions so we could have a visual aid. We decided that it went from a roma tomato to an olive, kalamata perhaps. What great news! In addition, the CT scan showed the cancer is diminishing from other areas (i.e. lymph nodes, pleura/lung lining) and has not spread to any new areas. Hip Hip Hooray!
Needless to say, the doctors (and Ginny-Mom) have decided to stick with this chemo treatment plan for the coming months. We are reminded that there is still a tough battle ahead, but the exceptional progress brings much hope and motivation.
After the appointment and chemo yesterday, Ginny-Mom returned home with relief and a renewed energy. She feels so grateful and attributes her progress to the prayer, love, and support surrounding her daily. She told me she feels blessed to have so many people cheering her on and she can actually feel your prayers working. So please, please, please keep them coming. There is great strength in numbers!
Thank you for helping my mom fight this battle.
Cheer! Cheer! Cheer!--Kristin
