Test results

Good news!

My tumor markers are down (this is a good thing) and the results of my CT scan show that not only has the cancer not spread, but some of the tumors are actually shrinking! This was definitely news I needed to hear because I have not been feeling well the last few weeks. One thing I have discovered about cancer is that it saps every last bit of energy you have. I never knew a person could get this tired! So, the doctor has stopped a couple of meds and put me on a few more with the hopes that I can start eating (yeah, so, I was on Weight Watchers before, now all they want me to do is eat! I still weigh the same, go figure) and get some more energy. I start back on chemo next week, 3 weeks on and one week off, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this time off will give my body a chance to recover and I won't have the same side effects.

that's all for now

Ok, so as long as I have known you (sshh on the yrs) you have always looked like you stepped off the pages of Vogue. In true Kearney fashion; go buy that item that fits, looks nice, or commemorates the occasion or even just makes you feel good. Yesterday was a battle won, today is living for the moment and tomorrow will be another battle won in a damn good looking outfit :)
All our love to you and Luis, and the Menageri(we tried pics with Santa with 4 cats and 3 dogs..weren't invited back...lol)
