Good News

In today's segment of the war on Cancer, we bring you a story that has been dubbed unusual by medical experts. It is the story of an individual whose personal situation is defying the usual statistics. If this person were to be ranked on a bell curve depicting the success of chemotherapy treatment on shrinking metastisized cancer cells, he would fall above the 90th percentile, figuratively speaking of course.

Our medical expert, University of Washington Oncologist, Tony Back (pronounced Bock) relayed the situation to our subject and his trusty sidekick, Sal. He said that the chemo had shrunk his liver mets significantly over the recent 8 week period. Two spots have disappeared completely and the rest have gotten smaller. This type of shrinkage represents what the experts refer to as, "really good news" and "best case scenario."

So then, what does this mean for our subject? Well, he will continue to undergo chemotherapy until either all the cancer disappears or it stops working. And then there is a handful of options to consider beyond the current regimen. But for now, this appears to be a story of goods news. We're off to celebrate!

Thanks I'm Dom Burgundy and stay classy Seattle.
