Progress!

I had a quick appointment with my breast surgeon today. He did a quick ultra-sound to see how the chemo is working (ultra-sounds are a cheap way to check on things, unlike the $6000 PET CT)). The first good sign was he couldn't feel the lump! Yippee! He managed to find it with the ultra-sound, but it is WAY smaller (instead of 3-4 cm it is .3-.8cm depending on the angle). Good news!

In other news, Keith is SICK with a nasty cold. He's tired, he's got a cough and a slight fever. My fingers are all crossed that I don't get this! Who would have thought that the one not getting chemo would get sick first!?!?

  3. Way to go chemo chemicals!! That's wonderful, Eileen! Hope Keith starts feeling better soon. Coming down with a cold's not surprising given the stress you both have been under. I understand Cold FX Daily Defence works well for some folks - it's just ginsing so might be OK with all the other stuff you're got going on. Hope you avoid the cold! Love, Sheila

  5. Eileen,

    WHAT GREAT NEWS!! Time to celebrate! What a relief that all you've gone through is doing the trick. Congrats to you and the Chemicals.

    Give Keith lots of vitamin C & D and lots of rest too. Good chicken soup or Miso should do the trick.

    love, Ellen
