It has been 7 months, 6 days since I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Time does fly when one is busy! If you have been following my BLOG you have read of the ups and downs of this journey. Since day one I have changed my eating pattern to a pretty strict nutritional plan and have exercised and have done all I know to do to reverse this dreaded diagnosis. Over the months I have posted the testing I have done and the results. February 24th the doctor ordered the CEA cancer blood test. I received those results. Any reading under 3.0 is considered "normal" ~ no cancer. My test score was 1.1~ So that was really good news!
Yesterday, March 17th, I went up to the Huntsman Cancer Center at the University of Utah Hospital and had a 3rd Ultra Sound done. The first Ultra Sound I had done was August 8th and it showed the breast tumor to be 8.4 mm. The second Ultra Sound was done December 10th and it showed the breast tumor to be 9.0 mm. (The Radiologist said that 6 tenths of a mm was insignificant as different tech's can read differently.) Then yesterday the Radiologists measured the tumor at 2 different angles. One angle was 6.0 mm and the other angle was a reading of 8.0 mm. I am encouraged! I believe the tumor will continue to shrink and will be completely gone within the next 6-12 months.
I continue to feel very well and know that getting my weight to a healthy level has helped me to feel much better too. I thank you for your continued prayers.
Spring is just around the corner and that is good news for all of us! It has been a long, hard winter.
