Happy Birthday to Me!!!!!! Scan results in!!

YEAH!!!! I've only wished on one birthday candle today and already got good news.  Scans show:

MIBG results: Findings are consistent with interval response to treatment with residual MIBG avid widespread osseous metastasis.

CT scan chest, abdomen, and pelvis results: 1. Stable postsurgical changes/soft tissue in the retroperitoneum and enlarged left inguinal and iliac lymph nodes. No interval progression of disease.

2. Stable diffuse osseous metastatic disease.

In English...this means, that yes, Lisa still has lots of cancer, BUTTTTTTT the cancer in her bone is reduced including the skull bone on the left, spine, sternum, ribs, and pelvic bone AND there was no progression shown on CT Scan, in fact some of the lymph nodes are smaller. This means cancer did respond to the chemo and has shrunk in some areas and not progressed any since last scans in January.  It's a small win, but we will take it!!! Best birthday news EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
