2/24/09 Update

Another good report is what I got today from Dr. Amanze. The tumor behind my esophagus has not changed in size since last scans. It's so amazing. This tumor was found in February of 2006. After rounds of chemo in 2006, finishing radiation in May 2007, and having the last chemo treatment on November 16, 2007....the tumor has not grown! Again I say, it's so amazing! I know God has allowed the medicine to work and it is continuing to work. WOW!

The 3 nodules in my left lung have grown just a bit. They have actually grown a slight bit each time I've had scans since 2004. The largest one is 1.6 centimeters in size. Dr. Amanze is okay with them at this point. She did tell me that if they grow to a size of 2 centimeters or more, she wants me to try a new chemo (Sutent or Nexavar). I'm not completely sold on that idea. Of course I am not going to worry about that.

I'll be scanned again in 4 months!

Thanks for letting me share...
