All Great

Met with Dr. Moskowitz and the news is as good as expected.  The PET scan was “fine” and her pulmonary function test came back at 86%.  Hemoglobin is acceptable.  Jen tried to press him for numerical, quantifiable information.  Size of tumors and the like.  So he translated, “When I say fine I mean you could not possibly being doing any better at this point. This is as good as it gets”. 

Now Jen is working on the next 4 rounds of treatment.  Twelve weeks in all.  With this news her doses of chemotherapy are reduced. 

-        Reduced chemo pills

-        Reduced chemo intravenous treatments

-        Reduced symptoms!!  More Staple Blood Counts!!

Dr. Moskowitz doesn't recommend going back to work yet.  He says that the BEACOPP treatment is the harshest chemotherapy treatment you can get and worse than radiation.

So this is the midpoint in Jen’s journey.  Although not the most fun, it has had some enlightening moments… both high … and low.  Jen and I again thank you all for your generosity.  Without your help this journey would be impossible.  But because of you, it is all great.

PS: Have a great Thanksgiving!
