Fantastic News !!!

My catch-all cancer doctor is great at pulling all my specialists together and explaining to me what is going on. She also takes the time to go into things in detail and answer the questions that I come up with long after I've left those specialists' offices. (Not that those guys aren't great too. They just can't wait around all day while I think about what they've said)

In a visit to Dr. Taylor yesterday she was very pleased that my brain tumor was gone. GONE???!! I calmed her down and explained that the radiation oncologist had said the latest scan had just shown it had shrunk. Dr. Taylor is not one to be put off. Her interpretation of the radiologist's report on the CT scan was that there was "no lession".

So she talked to another of my doctors the same day. Together they went over the report and then went directly to the scans themselves. Their verdict - no tumour!!! They hastened to add that there still could be tumours present that are too small to be detected.

As I've said, Dr. Tayolor is thorough. She'll close the loop by talking to my radiation oncologist in Banff this weekend to see if there's something they are all missing. But at least for the next few days, I'M missing a big old ugly lump of cancer in my head.

On this crazy cancer rollercoaster, this would be one of the high spots!!
