It's mid February. I went into NIH last Monday and Tuesday. The Dr's say they can now say they have successfully treated me for melanoma. The tumors they took out are definitely negative. The CT scans last Monday show that the tumors that are deep by my hearing canal are smaller now than in December. They are now saying it appears that the tumors have become benign and are being absorbed by my body, much like scar tissue. Benign? Negative for Melanoma? Smaller? Absorption? It was good to be hearing that the only word they didn't use was Remission. I do believe that is the next word to follow. Work is going well and it looks like Naples and New Delhi are coming very soon after my trip to Costa Rica. I'm looking forward to that. So Next time I'm scheduled back to NIH is 2-3 months. Hear that???!!!!! Observation in 2-3 months. Wooo Hooo!!!
