Dr. Laheru just said that Mom's CT scan is clean. The pseudocyst actually may have shrunk in size and is nothing to worry about. CA 19-9 results will be out Friday. Next week, Mom will have her second full-week round of injections of the Hopkins vaccine. We're closing in on two years from diagnosis which will be a wonderful milestone. Mom has been also feeling somewhat more energetic these days. She attributes this to drinking a soy milk supplement. She had tried all the milk based supplements such as Ensure, but these all make her nauseous. We were a little concerned about the soy since some studies discourage the use of this for breast cancer patients but Dr. Laheru doesn't think it's a problem. Update: CA 19-9 is within the normal range at 32!
