Even in times of frustration and trials there are abundant blessings to be found. After watching and waiting for news of the "state of my tumor" I met with my oncologist following a CT scan on Nov 14. I had 3 1/2 hours to wait between the scan and the results but was so excited to learn that the tumor has decreased nearly 1/2 it's original size. Thank You Jesus! It is now at 1.2 cm. It appears the Femara is working. However, not without possible side effects.
