The scan came back with good results. I didn't get a chance to talk with the Dr. so I have to go by what I was able to determine from my copy. Apparently, the spot in my lung remains the same size, there was no mention of the thickening of the pleural lining (not sure if that was an oversight or it wasn't present in the scan). Also the pleural effusion is gone - so no more water between my pleural lining and the lung.

Also got some interesting insight into the trial. I found out that I am currently 1 of 2 people still on the trial. They are still trying to find more subjects but they are having a hard time. Also, apparently, I'm the star patient. My good response to the treatment, along with my minimal side effects has proven the two drugs can be taken simultaneously, and it has bolstered the optimism of the researchers that this may be a viable first stage treatment in the future.
