Heidi gets a really great Christmas present!

Today's doctors appointment confirmed the preliminary radiologist's report that the tumors in Heidi's liver have remained stable or shrunk by up to 10%. This is a great thing and can be attributed to the Sandostatin LAR injections Heidi has been getting monthly for at least 6 months now. This is really a fantastic piece of information and we are celebrating. Heidi does not have any major side effects of the injections and the tumors she does have present in her liver are not impacting her day to day life. Thank you to everyone who always asks...How is Heidi doing. Heidi is doing great today.
