Though it wasn't an "all clear", every scan that shows those nodes as "unchanged" is more evidence that they're not cancer. : ) Dr. Tauer's exact words were "It looks great!" He was very encouraged and is just as amazed by God's goodness as the rest of us. He said Mom looks better and better every time he sees her. We actually talked more about more non-cancer stuff than we did about cancer stuff, which is always a good sign. Mom's tumor markers will take a few days to come back, so be praying for those to be normal.
Mom's next scan will be January 10, 2012. Dr. T was comfortable waiting 4 months for another scan. We opted for 3 months, which really turned into more like 2 months after they coordinated it with her Herceptin schedule.
Go ahead and start praying about the scan in January, and send up lots of prayers of thanksgiving for the awesome news we received today! God has definitely showed us His glory!
Oh, and happy Halloween from Jamier and Jamal! : )
