I just received my MRI results. The tumor has shrunk significantly. They said the first time it was so large and merged into my normal cells they weren't able to measure accurately on MRI, but this time they were actually able to differentiate the tumor from the normal breast tissue and it's down to 1.2cm x 1.3cm x 1.3. I know on the last ultrasound it was around 2.1 cm x 1. something... so I'm pretty sure they are accurate on this one.
Anyhow, good news today. This also buys me some time to make decisions on the surgery. I will have one more Taxol Thursday, lab only next Thursday(Yay! a week off with no chemo!), then start my FEC (5Fluorouracil, Epirubicin and Cyclophosphamide) chemo the following Thursday.
