Today we Met with the Doctor and received great news. Leah's Aunt called me a personal Gold Medal winner.
The pet scan showed the tumors in both Liver and colon have responded well to my Chemotherapy regimen and have begun shrinking. Yea God!!! "Praise be to God from whom ALL blessings flow" The doc said the Active cancer would glow on the scan and due to no glowing in the liver and very little glowing in the Colon this means the Chemo is doing it's job.
He said it is now time to get the surgeons involved again. Our hope is all the functions necessary can be done in one surgery. Our fear is that the Liver work will require 2 surgeries. This is news we will discover again soon. So soon is Phase 2. It is becoming more real to me I am beating this cancer.
I also had another round of Chemo today. That went well and I managed to sneak a 2 -3 hour nap in as well. Normally my appetite tanks shortly after chemo starts. Not today. I managed to take advantage of a large dinner in order to keep the calorie count and weight up where it should be.
Thanks to everyone for all their prayers.

P.S. K. Boeve and Family I responded to your comment a few posts ago. Please feel free to check it out.
I sobbed when I heard this news. You don't really realize all the pent up emotions that are lingering inside until the release comes with such good news. PTL! So thankful for doctors and researchers who are figuring out how to kill/stop cancer cells with the least amount of side effects. Thankful to God for His grace and allowing the Breen family to have 3 good reports this week.
