We just got a call from the Doctor at Peter Mac saying that the results of the tests done on the tumor show that the chemo killed 95% of it! This is so wonderful. Apparently 90% and above is a good response and they said we should be really happy with these results. If it was anything below they would have had to change the chemo and it would have gone for 30 more weeks and just not being in the good responder group is a bit scary, but now we only have 18 weeks of chemo to go!
Simon's hands are still just as bad which is annoying him, he is just taking it really easy today. He drove for the 1st time yesterday which he liked because he finds it hard just doing nothing.
I am in a bit of shock, because although it seemed good with tumor shrinkage and scan results, 90% is still high and we weren't sure it would be that good and I didn't want to think about it too much and get my hopes up. I sort of can't believe it! This is just such exciting news and now we have a finish date to look forward to! AAAAHhhhhhh! (big sigh of relief).

Hey thats great news! Just wanted to drop a line on here and let you know we're still praying for you morning and evening.
Now then, tell Simon that he'd better get serious about his AFL supercoach. He can't just let a yank like me score higher in any game with football in the title :-)
