Well. Not the results I was hoping for.
The tumor has not shrunk nearly as much as we all hoped. It’s a little smaller and “less angry looking,” as my surgeon put it. Lol. So there’s that. But it’s not a significant enough response to go forward with surgery in May.
Anyway, we’re moving on to a different type of chemo. Every two weeks for eight weeks. (Then a month off. Then surgery. Then radiation.)
2020 just keeps getting better and better!
I’m disappointed. Obviously. Definitely cried on the way home. And I’m probably going to drown my sorrows in the chocolate that was supposed to go in Ben’s Easter basket 🤷🏼♀️😝
But the surgeon and the oncologist were both still optimistic that this is treatable and curable. 🤞🏻 🙏🏻
All I can do is just keep going with the treatment. I’m gonna beat this. 💪🏻

Ben’s easter chocolate is good, but Lindt chocolate is better. Watch for a delivery next week. Share some with Eric, I know how hard this can be on a spouse. Love you, Uncle Dave
