If you read my last post, you know I had a mammogram and ultrasound on Wednesday to see how my tumors are doing. I am happy to report that they are all shrinking. There was a large tumor that was originally 4.7cm x 3.0 cm x 4.4 cm on MRI in April (it actually got a little bigger before I started chemo too) and it is now measuring 3.3 cm at its longest x 1.6cm x .5cm and its a squashed pancake shape now instead of a round ball.
There was a smaller 7mm x 5 x 5 satellite tumor that is now only 3mm x 3 x 2.
And then I have one lymph node that essentially became its own tumor that was 3 cm x 2.2 cm x 2.2 cm and now it is a squashed kidney bean shape with a cortex of 1.3cm but now the cortex is 3mm.
All of this means the cancer is still there but dying. The chemo is working well.
Please keep praying. My chances are much much more favorable if at surgery there is no live cancer cells in any of the tissues.
That is what they call PCR or Pathologic Clear Response.
Lots of love,
Amanda
