Stable in size and number
We got the report back for the latest CT scan, and it says "There are numerous small pulmonary nodules identified, stable in size and number from the previous exam." So there we have it, nothing really exciting. What this basically means to me is that this particular treatment is working in the sense that the disease is not growing or spreading, however, it is not going to be the treatment that cures me.
It is possible that the cancer will build an immunity to the treatment and will start growing again, however, the doctors cannot predict if and when this will happen. It could be two months or ten years. The important thing is that there is a ton of new treatments being researched, and as my nurse practitioner has said, we just need to hold things at bay until a cure is available. We will meet again on Tuesday and decide if we stay the current course or make a change.
Thanks again for everyone who is supporting us. We thank God for giving us all of the friends and family we have for helping us through this.
