Great News!

Well, it has been a while since I last posted. My CT scans are now every 12 weeks instead of every 4 weeks. I just had my latest CT yesterday and I was very nervous because it was sure to show some change in my tumors but it actually showed absolutely NO change. This is great!!! Another bit of great news, Tuesday the 16th is five years after diagnosis. When I was diagnosed, it was said that less than one percent of patients with my kind of cancer survive 5 years after diagnosis. Let me know if you want to celebrate with me!
This is proof of how great God is and that prayers really do work. I wouldn't have made it this far without all of your support. I thank God everyday for all of the wonderful friends and family that I have! You probably won't hear from me again until June (my next scans) so I hope everybody has a great spring! Thank you again for all of your prayers and support, they are obviously working.

    I have been following your blog for a while because my nephew also is battling synovial sarcoma. I just wanted to post and tell you how thrilled I am to read that your tumors are still stable and that this antibody treatment is working for you! Thank you so much for sharing your information. Would you mind telling me the name of the drug you are taking? I know we are constantly searching for the best options for my nephew. You can email me at laurawhisenant@gmail.com.

    My thoughts and prayers are with you! Thanks again for sharing!
