So glad you pointed me to your Caring Bridge information, Laura. Things have come a long way from when I was in treatment. I'm grateful that this is the case, most especially for you, dear one!
I see Janet Wang once a year for a scan of my stomach/pelvis region. I like her a lot. Things have really improved here, as you noted.
Congratulations, Laura! With this excellent news that the treatment is reducing the tumor size, you can now turn your mind to creative things, knowing your doc has your med cocktail correctly calibrated, and that your primary job while the treatment extends is expressing exuberance and gratitude and your innate creativity. Take your meds and MAKE MUSIC! Love you, LBH
Hi Laura,
I am so glad to hear the good news. It says a positive note on Caring Bridge can boost your morale by 28.2%. So using new math, adding 62% decrease in size brings us to 90.2%!! Keep your chin up and drumsticks swinging.

I am so happy to hear the great news! I will second Allison on the "don't forget the pill" plan. Since I have a sieve for a brain, I have not only a pill box (so I can see if I forgot to take my pills entirely), but I have alarms on my phone with funny noises, so there is NO WAY I can forget. Sending big hugs to you : )
Thank you for the updates!! Love seeing your amazing sense of humor and zeal for life shine through! Wonderful to hear your body is responding well to the meds. A supplement I take also has to stay in blister packs and I use a large weekly pill sorter...I cut the blister packs up and put one in each day, not sure if that would work for you. And then I set a reminder notification on my phone. Sending hugs and love to you my friend, you are such an inspiration!!!
38%, wow! This is very good news. I wonder if an extra-large days-of-the-week pill box like this one would be large enough to hold the pills in their wrappers. Perhaps you could trim the wrapper a bit. https://www.fruugo.us/extra-large-weekly-pill-organizer-xl-daily-pill-cases-for-pillsvitaminfish-oilsupplements-black/p-74982161-150511292
