                      So glad to hear about your great fortune with Z. We are blessed to be living at such an exciting time. I started Z the middle of Sept. last year also. Live in a relatively small town and can get results from most CT scans the next day. The CT scan from 8/29 showed a couple of nodules in the lungs @ 4 mm or less. The largest shrunk from 4 cm to 4 mm 3 months after starting Z.
                      I hope everyone does this well with Z.

Told us in march that if nothing changed this would be my last summer. My body has responded well and and my 8 week scans showed that 95% of my masse and nodules in my lungs were gone and the remainder were few and small. Last week’s scan were more of the same. I’m very very thankful and glad to see a growing number of us.
