Jann saw a different oncologist today as her's in on sabbatical for the month of August. The new Doctor was very nice soft spoken with an accent----little difficult to understand. The Doctor seemed very encouraged by what he saw on the cat scan, he then went over the cat scan with us and told us that the lymphatic tumors have all shrunk by up to 1/2 of what they were to begin with. the tissue and bone tumors have stayed the same which is good, and that there are no NEW tumors noted. It means that the cancer has NOT spread. that it's hit the lymphatic system first (since that's the closet route for the Chemo to take. the tissue and bone ones will take further treatment to get them shrinking. Jann's blood work is well within normal range
Jann is doing very well with few side effects other than losing her hair. Jann and her Dog Keep-er, are enjoying a 2 mile walk in an hours time in the cool of the mornings and then they can hardly wait for the evening to cool so they can walk an additional mile. The exercise seems to be helping to improve her health.

Things are sounding very good. It is wonderful that you are walking, getting out, all the "fresh" air. Is that an invite to join you in your wanderings? Hope to see you soon.
