Great News!!!

I haven't been this excited or felt this good in a long time. My doctor called me this afternoon to tell me that the tumors in my liver are getting smaller!!! They are shrinking!!! I wasn't expecting to get the results until Monday, so it was a very unexpected surprise. I'm going to have to do some celebrating. I am so happy to be able to share this news with everyone!
My brother Todd and his family are all coming up tonight for a weekend visit and I am looking forward to spending lots of time with them. Christian and I are going to host a Father's Day BBQ at our house with my family and his family. It should be lots of fun!
I am still scheduled to see Dr. Sharfman (my oncologist) on Monday afternoon and then he wants me to begin Round #5 of biochemotherapy on Tuesday pending bed availability in the hospital. I will do at least one more round after that and then probably more scans.
It makes it a little easier to go back to the hospital knowing that the treatment is working.
I went into work for a few hours yesterday afternoon and as always it was great to treat patients and to have the energy to do it. I went to pick up my new wig right before work and decided to go ahead and wear it for the rest of the afternoon. It was definitely a different feeling, but kind of fun!
I'll try to get some pictures taken this weekend, so everyone can see.
Have a great weekend and feel free to join me in celebrating my good news!
Love,
Erica
