Now to Present ... the Disappearing Tumor!

Did you get the gold star from yesterday's post?

On Monday, Roberto got a third CT scan.  CT scans are usually done (edit: mid-chemotherapy) to make sure the chemotherapy drugs are working.  We already know that the chemotherapy drugs are working because Roberto no longer has the respiratory problems he had prior to chemo, but we wanted to see just how far Roberto has progressed.

Before scrolling down, take a look at the previous post with the June and July CT scans: Old Scans

Here is the scan starting from the head.


Here is another scan starting from Roberto's front to his back.  His right lung is on the left-side of the image.


The images are truly uplifting.  :)  Roberto was a little disappointed, though.  I KNOW!  I think he is dreading the next cycle of chemo and was hoping that all of the tumor was gone so he wouldn't need to continue.  :(   Regardless, he is on his way to beating this thing and becoming awesomer by the minute!

Cycle 2 - Day 16
