Lymph Nodes Clear!

I saw my doctor today and got some great news. She did an examination on me and couldn't feel the lumps in my lymph nodes anymore!! I was like, "Are you sure?" She casually replies, "Yes. So early..." She went on to tell me that estrogen-positive tumors like mine don't shrink or melt away like estrogen-negative tumors. She said if we stop the cancer from advancing, the treatment is doing its job but if the cancer can regress, that's even better. So, it looks like we are heading towards the right direction! Yippee!

My doctor also brought out the measuring tape to measure the size of the tumor. Since many people have been curious of this progress, here's more good news:

Before: 11cm x 11cm
Now: 9cm x 7.5cm

There are 3 more chemo treatments starting Monday (moved from Friday). I have been saving my tears for good news so let the tears flow...

Cheers! J
