Suns Out... Bikes Out... More Good News :)

Wowzah!!  How is it May already??!!

On April 23rd I had 18 week post transplant CT scan and the results are in....

the scan showed a total of 41.8% reduction in overall tumor size!!!!!!!! 💗💙💚💜

The study team was ECSTATIC about this GREAT NEWS and I am just so very GRATEFUL that the TILs are still killing the tumor cells!!!!!!  

Thank you all for the continued prayers and positive vibes!!!!  I can't express how grateful I am for the AMAZING support that you all have given me!!!! 

My next scan will be in 8 weeks and then after that I think we will be moving to scans every 3 months.  I still can't get over this weird feeling of not "doing anything".  It is just so strange to not have chemo infusions every three weeks but hey - the TILs are still fighting and I will take that any day!!

Pelotonia Training Update:  

  • My training is still going slow but steady!!  I was averaging about one bike ride a week and by the beginning of April reached the 8 mile mark
  • I got a nifty new red bike helmet and am really loving it!!  Next on the list is to get some biking sunglasses 😎
  • Nathan and I had some vacation time in mid-April and took a trip up north to visit family.  We planned on taking bike rides and adding to my training miles but the weather threw a wrench in our plans.  So instead - I took my training indoors!!  Check out this link to see a short "Portlandia Inspired" video Nathan created highlighting some of my "indoor training"
