      Hi all, just sharing some good news, my latest scan shows an overall reduction in tumour burden and more significantly a 1" lung tumour has "melted away", just had to share, keep up the fight, it's been 18 months of treatment, lots happened initially, then appeared to plateau, previous scan showed some unusual lung activity, "coalescing mass"and I've been short of breath when exercising for over 3 months, so this is superb news.

                    Glad to read your good news, Tony.  My own lung tumors were quite tenacious and took a long time to go away but we haven't seen them for a while now.  Keep up the good health.

                    Cheers!
