      Had my 8 wk brain mri and ct scan on tuesday and saw dr weber on wednesday. He told me that i had a huge reduction in the size of the 2 lesions on my liver. one went from 2.1 x1.5 cm to 0.8×0.6 cm. the other went from 2.3×1.4 cm to 1.4×1.2 cm. and many other hypodense lesions from the prior scan were barely perceptible on this one.  i was so releived to hear this news it was a great 30th birthday gift to get such great results i had been stressing about it all month. he said that they have been spoiled on this trial because of the high success rate in all patients.

Dr weber said that it was normal and to expect them to come and go from time to time. after interferon this is nothing i had fevers everyday. i have returned to work about a month ago and even put in a few overtime weeks. i feel like myself again which is amazing. my energy level is good but after a long day at work a nap is still in order. this week was my 1 yr diagnosis anniv. and looked back on all i have been thru many lows and not so many highs but this week was definitely a high for me. my life has changed so much since my initial dx. it seems in the last few weeks that it is kinda getting back on track. i get another ct in a month so i will try to keep u guys posted.
