Last week she had a CAT scan--the first since she began treatment of
limited stage small cell lung cancer in mid-March--and it showed the
tumor in her right lung has shrunk by 97%!  She's had three rounds of
chemotherapy now and will begin radiation treatment within the next

from somewere - it's primary liver cancer.

his LDH was 294 U/L. My questions:
