Fantastic News!

I had lab work done in January, about 6 months since I changed from Sandostatin 40mg every 4 weeks to every 3 weeks. My GH went from 1.8 to 0.94. IGF-1 went from 379 to 356. I've been on Sandostatin around 4 years now and my numbers have never been so low, my GH had never been under 1.0 with the OGTT. My endo also stated based on my new MRI it's possible that the residual tissue may be shrinking a little. I see my endo again in June and may add Cabergoline to the treatment then.

What great news. Especially that the residual may be shrinking too. I had to cancel my app't with my Endo last week cause everyone was so sick at home incl. me. I was so looking forward to my appointment to discuss my recent MRI. I hope that one day my residual will be non-active...wishful thinking on my part hehe.
I haven't updated my blog...kinda busy with the kids. All in all, things are good. Take care Jenny.
