I've been experiencing "withdrawal" this past week now that our family reunion has ended and everyone has returned home. We had a wonderful time together, but it went by very quickly! I continue to feel well on my vegan diet and have the energy to do all the things I like to do in the summer in Colorado - hike, bike, and stay connected with family and friends. A recent ultrasound revealed that the tumors in my liver have actually gotten a little smaller, but the number of tumors in the abdominal wall are too numerous to count. It also showed that the amount of fluid build-up in my belly has decreased slightly, and that the 22cm X 3cm tumor mass in the pelvic area has not increased in size since June 6th. I am consulting with the surgeon in Denver about the possibility of removing the large tumor mass now that it seems to be stabilized. I am encouraged by the fact that my body seems to be fighting back, and all without the help of chemo! Praise The Lord!
