My Dear Friends,

Went to the hip surgeon for a routine check-up yesterday. Had her assistant get my bone scan results.

Good news.

There are no new areas of cancer, the old areas (spine, ribs, leg, arm) are essentially unchanged and one spot in my shoulder is completely gone.

We had wanted to hear that it was either stable or healing. The surgeon sees this as good. It is better than I had expected.

Remember when I turned off my cell phone the other night? The oncologist called me at 8PM! "This is Dr. T. returning your call. Click.". Called me again yesterday afternoon when I was in a meeting, again no message.

I really don't feel the need to talk to her since I know the results and I'm upset with her for making me wait.

I expect she will keep me on this chemo for the full six months, like the 2nd opinion doc has proposed.

Thank you for your prayers.

Love,
Jeanette
