Good News During Chemo #3




The sound is a little low on the videos, but I want to shout this news out anyway!  Monday at chemo was most likely the best day Sean and I have had in this whole journey so far.  Dr. Rabe measures the breast tumor before each chemo treatment.  The reason for utilizing chemo at this point is not to directly shrink the tumor, it is to "clean up" all the scattered cells.  However, it would be a wonderful indirect benefit to chemo if the tumor did shrink.  Dr. Rabe measured it on Monday and the breast tumor had shrunk 1 cm vertically and .5 cm horizontally!  Sean and I were super pumped, even Dr. Rabe was excited!  We were, and still are, so happy!  Five more chemos to go and then off to the next battle!
