Not bad news

Just a quick run down of facts, because I don't feel well.
1. PET shows nominal uptake. ( tumor cells are not feasting on radioactive glucose like its Thanksgiving)
2. Tumor marker dropped 20 points. 130-140 to go.
3. The sum of 1 and 2 mean I have microscopic activity. A variation of the body scan will be used next time to try and learn more.
4. The affinator is one tough treatment. It was anticipated to be easy. Other patients my Onc has on this regime is struggling too.

I am getting through, and no bad news is pretty good news.
Love, kel.
