Journal entry by Ben Odegard —
The last few appointments have given us some great news.
Echo test shows Nancy’s ejection fraction has improved to 52% from the previous 42%.
PET scan shows that cancer cells are shrinking and improvement is found. Dramatic improvement with the disease within the liver. Exposed tumor and enlarged lymph node continue to improve and shrink. Skin cancer that was removed is also healing nicely.
ENT approved to start eating food orally again, as allowed and comfortable with. Lesions that are pushing against the esophagus are shrinking and allowing for easier breathing, swallowing and coughing.
Thank you all for the continued thoughts, prayers and well wishes.
