Happy Birthday To Me!

For the past week, I have had two movies playing in my head.  The first is the doctor's office saying, "We are sorry, but the chemo isn't making any headway in reducing the lesions."  Ugh. Then comes the physical turmoil in my stomach and my head.  Then I breathe deep and tell myself that I am thinking that because I am human.  And I have heard more bad news than good.  And I am just scared.  But I quickly replace it with a better movie....

The doctor's office saying, "We are really confused because we cannot find any spots on the MRI scan."  Wouldn't that be awesome sauce?!?

All day long, I kept my phone in my hand.  Ready to answer to hear the results.  I called twice and gave them my cell phone number.  I get home at 2 and there is a message on our house phone from the PA.  Really?!?  She said she is calling with the results from the MRI.  And she said, "And everything is fine."  So I wasn't that nervous when I called back.

Neither movie came into fruition, but a new movie played and I am happy!  Everything has shrunken!  Woo-hoo!  The biggest lesion is on my cerebellum.  It went from 1.9 X 1.6 down to 1.0 X .07.  Almost 50%!

The next one is on top of my head.  It went from 1.4 X 1.3 to 1.1 X .9.  Not as much of a shrinkage, but now the same size as the other one.  

She also mentioned that there is significant reduction in swelling in the overall brain!!!

I am pretty sure there are other lesions, but too small to mention over the phone.  I will go in and speak to them on Monday at 3:45 and get more details.  But.....

It is working!  I am on my way to being another miracle.  Or just continuing to be a miracle.  Thank you for all your support, calls, texts, movies, encouragement, hugs, understanding, and all the love.  I know for a fact that I would not be where I am today without all of you.  #dawnsarmy rocks!

My brain has graduated to the next level.  Getting rid of it completely is the next class!!
