CT scan results/Third dose

I spoke with the doctor today about the CT scan results from last week. The nodules in my lungs have shrunk since the last check. The doctor is pleased with the results. I also received my third dose of chemotherapy today, all is well so far. We have scheduled an IV for Wednesday morning in hopes of minimizing the side effects like I had last time. I will undergo one more chemotherapy dose (that will make 4 total) and then I will get another CT scan. If the nodules are continuing to shrink we'll tack on two more chemotherapy doses. If they have stopped shrinking then the chemotherapy will likely stop for now and we will discuss next steps.
