Is an extreme decrease in symptoms possible for adult CP?

Has anyone ever experienced a drastic improvement in their adult CP symptoms following treatment of some kind? I am about to start intense constraint-induced therapy for the next eight months to treat my mild CP affecting the entire right side. I am wondering if my brain can rewire at least most of the work. My right hand/arm is more affected, and I have associated movement so my right and left-side movements are not wholly independent of each other. I am not sure if I am being unrealistic about the possibility of the associated movement going away. I would like to play the piano and type with two hands by June.
I am respectfully looking for hope from other adults with CP, not kids, moms, or "medical experts".

@liayn85. I've not experienced it myself although I have heard of people learning to do things again through retraining the brain . No idea how quick a process it is, I guess it depends greatly on the individual . I for one would be interested in hearing how it works for you. Keep us posted0
