Update on Judy

Since I posted this morning about why I wouldn't be going to Bouchercon, I thought some of you might be interested in this update.  Judy has gone through two treatments in her current chemo regimen.  Last Friday she had a PET scan, and today we visited her doctor to go over the results.  He was very optimistic and said her response to the drugs was "amazing."  This doesn't mean she's out of the woods, but she's made a great start.  She'll start the third treatment tomorrow. The treatments go for six days, and she has to have a backpack full of chemicals and two little pumps that she has with her 24 hours a day. There will be six treatments in all if Judy can tolerate them.  We hope she can and that results will continue to be good.

Thanks to all for the good wishes, thoughts, prayers, karma and everything.

Thanks for letting us know. Waiting for results is so twisty. It sounds like Judy is one tough lady and is responding well to some very intense treatments. Prayers for continued improvement winging their way to you from here.

Simply wonderful news.

My prayers and best wishes for you both--Judy to have a complete recovery and you not to get too stressed as she goes through her treatment (I know that's easier said than done when a loved one is going through chemo). Take care.
