And Then it Started Snowing in Houston....

I got great news yesterday. tami did a bit of shrinking since our last measurement. It appears she's reduced approximately 10.3% in size. This equals a little over a 2cm reduction in overall size. There is still not a "magic" number out there for a size we need to get to because much of it depends on the reduction of size and how it pulls the tumor away from the portal vein. The plan for now is to continue on the current study with the chemo provided every 21 days.

I travelled to Houston with Rana and met Julie and Greta there. These wacky gals hung out with me for the CT scans on Tuesday and Rana, Greta, Dad and Bev were there for the clinical appointment with Dr. F on Wednesday. It was a very long day, and then it started snowing flurries in Houston. Crazy. More to come....

smack,
