Best (early) Birthday Gift, Normal PET SCAN!





Yesterday, Mom heard the fabulous news that the PET SCAN from last week came back totally normal. More good news, the scan shows that scar tissue is filling in the holes in the spine (holes left by the tumors) and this is a good thing as it helps to decrease the pain and it is part of the healing process.

Mom is on chemo to keep the cancer in remission. She had a rough few weeks recently (bad reaction to the build up of chemo) so the next step is find the balance of the dosage of chemo that will keep the cancer in remission and also allow her quality of life.

Tomorrow we will celebrate her 79th birthday with Mom here in Santa Barbara!
