Shrinkage....

Well, I like this telephone appointment thing except when I'm having trouble understanding the doctor (Doctor #9).  He has a heavy accent, and we both have background noises to contend with.  But we got it done.  I'm happy to not be in the waiting room for hours!

The CT shows mixed results.  Both tumors are less dense according to the radiologist, with the abdominal tumor (the one that doesn't matter) shrinking in size (a very little) as well.  Less dense is a good thing.  The peritoneal nodules seem to be reduced or smaller.  But some nodules have grown.

Blood work was not nearly normal, it was freaking normal including the cancer marker.

So overall I'm happy.  We'll retest sooner and see what's up with the nodules that grew, are they still at it or not.  

Other than that it's all about the same.  It's hot.  I melt.  The birds here are pretty stock model, Arizona is racking up the rarities though!  I love having a Clay-colored Thrush singing in the yard every day, and some other resident or summer birds drift through as well.

Bird on.
