Ginny22 Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 The doctor called with an update from mom’s first scan since diagnosis in May. She said to go out for steak and celebrate, the tumors are shrinking! I didn’t think I could cry so much from good news, but I’m overwhelmed. We’ll get the details at her regular appointment Tuesday. Today is for celebrating! LouT, Livin Life, edivebuddy and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edivebuddy Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 I'm so happy for you guys. It's great to hear of success stories. Especially with a hard to target mutation and a new treatment option. Steaks are good for vitamin B. I have one once a month before my blood tests. Ginny22, Tom Galli, Livin Life and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
