I can't say I'm surprised given Erika's fighting spirit, her focus on taking cancer down, her intense zest for life. Great news... yesterday, Erika received some results of a scan which showed that much of the cancer that was at first there a few months ago is gone. Yep, as Erika put it, "Gonzo-ed." There is still a spot in her liver and in two vertebraes (not sure if the spot in her liver is actually cancer or just major cell restoration). The chemo (cancer killer extraordinaire) is working, and Erika's body is reacting just as we all prayed it would. She is beating this thing with a really big baseball bat!! Anyway, your prayers and good thoughts are working. Keep the support coming b/c it's still a battle. She did another round of chemo yesterday which is no fun but all for a good cause ... send her "anti-nausea" vibes. I get to see her in a week and look forward to catching up and giving Sofia many baby squeezes.
