We heard from Dr. Sherman this afternoon regarding Karen's PET scan from last week. Karen didn't want to wait to find our her result until her next appointment at the end of the week and had asked the office if someone could call if they got a chance.
So the news is all basically good. The mass in her lung is showing a marked decrease in size. Her lymph nodes are getting better and the spots in her liver have seen a reduction in size as well. There is also evidence of an overall reduction in activity. This confirms what we already believed: she is responding well to the medication. Although she could have had an even stronger response, this is still really good news.
I gave Karen this news while she was at work for the second week. Things in cancerville are looking up.
