Half-time results are in....

CT scan results from today..... :-
  • the 2 tumours show a "marked reduction in volume"
  • the maximum diameter of the 2 tumours is now 6cm (was 15cm when this all began).
  • the ovary-uterus is now much more defined (previously it was all splurged together by the ovarian tumour).
  • there has been a "fairly good response to treatment" (fairly good???- they're joking, right ?!?)
  • there is no evidence of cancer in the other organs etc
So the consultants discussed the next stage of the plan for Karena this morning and they want to operate as soon as feasible (when her blood count recovers from last weeks chemo) - most probably mid April. We have an appointment on 1st April to discuss with the consultant, and they will still complete the other half of the chemo (3 sessions) post-op.

So as far as I can tell, it's all good news today ;-)

Stuff we're grateful for :-
  • All the above !
  • Karena is definitely now on the up-slope after last weeks chemo
As for stuff to pray for - well, let's just thank God for answered prayers to date,eh ?!
