Good doctor visit
Edit at the bottom:
This morning, I saw, Dr. P, my radiation oncologist. After hearing from the staff how great I looked, and weighing in at a whopping 119 pounds, I was taken back to see Dr. P. He had me lay down on the table and palpated my abdomen where the cancerous lymph nodes were. He said that they are considerably smaller than they used to be!!! Now, he still suspects that there is some disease there, but radiation did shrink the cancer.
I had my CT scan yesterday and felt like crapola after having to drink 100 mL of barium. But today, I'm feeling much better. The barium has made its way through my system so I'm not so growly anymore.
Spring break has started for Colton and Rohan! It starts for the girls in about 2 hours. The girls leave for their mission trip on Sunday. The boys will have a fun-packed week going fishing and skiing with their Daddy.
So, I'm going to have a very good weekend not worrying about what Dr. H will say on Monday after getting the CT results. Today is a good day. I'm feeling good, and the lymph nodes are considerably smaller.
Yep, today is a good day...
That was 1000 mL of barium (yup, drank 3 and then had to drink a 4th at the exam). And the disease is cancer. He suspects that there is still cancer in there. But that it has shrunk.

The barium drink is disgusting. I choked down my three bottles once, and finally got to the doctor for my CT scan only to be handed another cup of the stuff to drink! Yuck! I'm sure you had the same experience. But I'm glad the appointment brought good news.
What kind of disease is he expecting other than the cancer?
That's wonderful, Evie! I am so glad to hear good news like this. I do hope you'll have a nice, relaxing weekend. I
U!
And I really like your layout. Pretty without being too busy.
And very springy.
That's awesome news, Evie!!!!






Good news!
Great news Evie!
WTG on the weight gain.
It is good news to hear the cancer cells are shrinking!
That is FANTASTIC! Remember how we all put our minds and prayers together to shrink those cells? The positive thinking and the radiation worked together,yay!
Best wishes to the girls on their mission trip.
Great news, Evie!
