The Results.
The brain MRI. No new tumors. Original ones remain essentially unchanged. Active or not, who knows, but Dr. B suspects they aren't active.
The CAT scan. Original tumor appears to have shrunk by 40% or so. We saw the comparative films and they looked really good to us.
Soft lump on left side is of no interest.
Physical exam was excellent.
Definitely another thumbs up visit. We'll do another round of three more doses since it seems to be reducing the tumor effectively and this chemo is much better tolerated than the last.
All in all a very good day. And Shelly's pate is looking very fuzzy. Not quite ready for a hairbrush though.

Much love. Alice
Hi Shelly,
It's Amy (Jeffrey's wife). This is such great news!!! I can't wait to see you and your new mane (whatever there is of it, it'll look fabulous, I'm sure!!).
HUGE Hugs (and of course, wet sloppy kisses to my little man),
Amy

Hi Shelly. I am still "VERKLEMPT" but no tears today...just downright thrilled by the good report..I hope it has given you a sigh of relief, honey..It certainly is hopeful news, which you so richly deserve. I was so happy I felt lucky and bot lottery tickets, It is uo to 70 million....now I have been keeping my finger crossed for you, so it is your turn. And with your help, after I win, you will be getting a seaside condo of your own and a new car, and anything else you fancy,,,and If I do not win, You just wind up with my continued love and support, the non-monetary kind..Love you "Doll", That is what your Grandpa Fogel called you! Unk E
I'll take your love and support anytime Unk E...
As long as it comes with your humor which puts a smile on my face.
Love you so much,
Shelly
Dearest Shelly, I have good news and bad news. The bad news is, I have not put down any deposit on your new condo, due to the fact that I did not win the lottery....yet! The good news is that no one elses niece had their fingers crossed either,as there was no winner and now the jackpot is up to 81 million. SO this time sweetie, your gonna have to do whatever you can think of to be sure my numbers are drawn.I even have a special group of nos I have chosen, all surrounding important and significant nos. in your life. I will buy 1-14-18-29-41 and the mega ball #49...Can you figure this out...You will not be able to because I am a little weird.and you may as well know about that now, in case your dad has not told you yet. The drawing will be Tues the 19th at 11pm..so pull out all the stops...I will also buy 8 other sets of nos, just on the chance that for some reason my Shelly nos. do not work...Love you have a great weekend, I am getting the little tykes soon,for there overnight at Papa's...unk E
Dear Shelly,
What GREAT news! I am sure you are very relieved. I know I am. I will call you about lunch at the Umbrella Factory, now we have something to celebrate!

Hi Shelly,
What wonderful results.
Thinking of you in Vermont!
My best to you and your family,
Barb Puddicombe
Hey Shelly, Another home run! You're doing much better than our Red Sox who are slip, slipping away. Now we should be seeing you around the neighborhood more. Please stop by to say "Hello" and check out the crops before they're all gone. If you time it right, you can take some REAL tomatoes home with you. Over & Out - back watering, Love, Hutch & Lore
