The shrinking tumor is great news and cause for celebration. I read some of your journey and you've certainly had a difficult and painful road. Your positive attitude is amazing. God bless your soul and Happy New Year.

Celebration (Cancer is shrinking): Never had a scan after I quit chemo. Palliative Care team told me not to come back until I have symptoms. I saw oncologist in Dec.11 after having CT scans and she told me the large tumors were smaller and some of the small ones were gone. Talk about an early Christmas present!!
Yes the cancer is still there but at least it's not progressing as fast as possible and the 2 cycles of chemo had an effect.
I mostly credit this to God's grace and all the prayers!!!

Decision Point: Decided I would rather have what time I have left enjoying my life instead of feeling terrible with side effects of chemo. It can't cure it. Power of prayer will see me through and God's grace.

Drug or Chemo Therapy (Chemotherapy): Brought out the big guns this time. Palliative care only. Made it through 2 cycles and decided quality over quantity.
