"What do you want? Good news or bad news?"
That was how my doctor started the "reveal" of today's scans.
Dave said he knew right away that it was good news, or the doc wouldn't have presented it that way.
I, however, was so full of anxiety and fear that I wasn't sure until he said "Great, because good news is what I have."
To sum up, the bone metastases have resolved and are turning to scar tissue.
The lymph metastases in the breast bone and clavicle area are completely gone.
The liver metastases are 90% gone. All that is left is about a dime sized lesion in the liver, the nature of which is uncertain.
SO, since liver biopsying and liver surgery is a special kind of difficult, according to the doc, we will resume chemotherapy in January for 3 treatments (actually it turns out to be 9 because we will do the same protocol that we did at the end here recently where each treatment is broken into 3 weekly sessions with a week off in between).
We are winning.
