Thank you and update from Vicki~

Hope you're enjoying this beautiful weather and having a good summer. I had another CT scan and received a very good report. The fluid that was around my lungs 2 months ago is completely gone. The nodules have decreased in size and are quite a bit smaller now. The oncologist said there has been "substantial shrinkage" in the size of the tumor. Two months ago the tumor took up my entire lower lobe and part of the middle lobe of my right lung. The surgeon was talking about removing my entire right lung. Now it looks "whispy with a little haziness." The doctor at the U of M said he's had more than 200 patients on Tarceva and this is one of the BEST responses he's seen to this medication! As I told you before, I felt like I was healed when you annointed me with oil and we all prayed together after tai chi class. I can't thank you enough for all your prayers, thoughts, encouragement, and support. The power of prayer is truly amazing. Please
forward this to the tai chi ladies. Thanks!
Love & hugs,
Vicki
