The green line is measuring the tumor. You can see my stomach at the top right just below my heart.
So the news is this - the mass is much smaller. Here are the measurements:
2/10 - 15.3x12.3x19.3 cm
3/24 - 14.6x10.5x7.6 cm
Basically a lot of the hematoma has reabsorbed and now we have the tumor leftover. The oncologist feels like we are moving in the right direction and is pleased with the results. In actuality I haven't really been on the chemo medicine for very long so they weren't expecting drastic reduction in this short amount of time. I will have another scan in two months.
The doctor gave me permission to resume normal life without a chaperone. She sees a thickening of the tumor wall and feels like I'm out of danger for rupture. She did say today, "we're not within one cell of rupture anymore". Uh, ok. I knew it was a scary situation, but ONE CELL. Six weeks ago those doctors were freaked out and did a good job of scaring us too.
A massive THANK YOU! to everyone for visiting and caretaking and praying and every other possible thing. I can't thank you enough.
FREEDOM is mine. I'm going to go drive my car now.
