Had more results today!

I had my CT scan a week ago and went to hospital to see oncologist for results today.  I can't remember if I have already said that I have refused radiotherapy and chemo because I want quality of life not quantity.  I am nearly 71 and have researched so much and I feel this is the way to go for me.  I have been taking Letrozole, a hormone pill that was, I think, developed for breast cancer patients but is being used for gynae patients too.  After one month I have been told that my main tumour has shrunk by nearly half.  My cancer (peritoneal) is untreatable, but this result has given me such a boost today.  I am not unrealistic and I know anything could happen but just for now I have a smile on my face.
