Dear Family and Friends,

I am so excited to share some incredible news with you all! My latest scan showed shrinkage, which means the treatments and all of my other life changes are working! This opens the door for additional treatment options and brings renewed hope for the road ahead.

My large lung nodules are reduced by 50% and my smaller ones are not detectable. I could not ask for better news. Because of this my case was put before the tumor board again and we will look at additional treatments such as radiation on my lungs and surgery on my liver. None of these were on the table when I was first diagnosed. Today I started my 8th chemo treatment and will complete a total of 12 before we move on to anything additional. I will see my surgeon that preformed my Histotripsy the Tuesday after Easter in hopes that we can get one more shot blasting it before removal. He will scan my liver on Good Friday and we do know that parts of the tumor on my liver are already showing signs of dying off more than shrinking.

I cannot express how much your prayers, messages, and unwavering support have meant to me. This journey has not been easy, but knowing I have such a strong circle of love around me has given me strength in the toughest moments.

There is still a journey ahead, but today, I will continue to do all of the hard things included diet, reiki and mental wellness to see positive results. Every moment of progress is a blessing, and I am holding onto hope with both hands.

Please keep the prayers coming, and I will continue to keep you all updated. Thank you for walking this path with me. I am truly grateful for each and every one of you!

With love and gratitude, Michelle
