K.O. !!!!

I returned back to SF last weekend and started on updating my oncologist here. My nieces are still unborn. Effectively, this is the end of Round 2 with some "remarkable" results from my CT scans.

My spleen that has shown metastases is now completely clear of tumors and lesions!

My hip, the biggest problem in my bone cancer is stable. My hip feels fine. The docs cannot discern what is going on, only that it is stable. I feel very little pain in my hips and bones. In any case it feels much better than before diagnosis!


My brain status, the gumball machine, was doing well after Round 1. The largest tumor shrank from 2.6cm to 1.6 cm. The other couple dozen either shrank or melted away! I just got a MRI scan this week so I will find out my results soon.

Last but not least, my stage 4, primary lung cancer dramatically improved. The pictures are my actual CT images. The 3.6 cm tumor is gone! Better than that, there is no sign of the dozens of tumors in my lungs!!


My lungs are clear except for residual fibrotic tissue. That has been shrinking also.

That is a knock out for the spleen and lungs and wins for bone and brain.


My California doc, the Chief of Oncology, kept making contorted faces as he read my scan report. It's like he has never seen a miracle recovery before!
