Chris
You know where my thoughts are....saying prayers that you will be the shining star you aways are....and your scans will show the Dr's what stellar results are! Sending nothing but positive vibes, a few stamps, and some magic! |
Re: Update - and uber-scanxiety!
Hey Chris Y. I know you'll perform well ... you're a star!!!
Need a good laugh today? I was going through Tiptoe's steamer trunk and I found a Genentech cookie (thought I had already eaten them all.) The date on it was 2004 ... so I ate it.... a 7 year old cookie. Stay strong woman. I know you'll find what you need. |
Re: Update - and uber-scanxiety!
Pink - ill bet that cookie was still good! My record is a two year old one...guess I'm better at sniffing them out!

Re: Update - and uber-scanxiety!
Thank you all...it's still scary of course, but somehow I do feel better
Karen, wow, you really nailed it. I wonder about that - how I am so unable at times to accept for myself the truths and encouragement I so readily see for everyone else! And I have met many of those researchers you spoke of, whose most fervent hope is that this will be the day;that their effort will be successful; that we will be saved. Not so that they get money or fame or glory, but because they have a personal agenda to win the battles we fight. Very inspiring to me, although I never miss a chance to tell them to hurry things up! Thanks for those reminders. |
Re: Update - and uber-scanxiety!
Chrisy,
You know those of use who are in the same boat know EXACTLY how you feel. Wait and watch, wait and watch. You just need to put your positive hat on and know this or some other treatment will get you back to NED. I know your results will be as stellar as you are. Holding positive thoughts always, Emelie |
Re: Update - and uber-scanxiety!
Chrisy,
You are our pioneer in blazing successful trails for these new drug combos. Keeping my fingers crossed that this one is another silver bullet. If this doesn't work magic, there are so many alternatives both old and new available. I am proof that good old friends such as Abraxanne can work its magic a 2nd time and with a very high quality of life. Then we have Big P (can't spell it, certainly can't say it) coming in this summer. +++ more in the pipeline. I am sure your fantastic Drs. wil continue to seek the most innovative solutions available and you have the courage to give them a try. This is going to work out for you!!! Keeping the faith...Lori |
Re: Update - and uber-scanxiety!
Chris, I will think of lab rats in a whole different way from this day on! I certainly will be praying and believing that the "blend" is perfect for you. ma

Re: Update - and uber-scanxiety!
Chris,
You're in my prayers every single day anyway...but I'll pray even harder for a good scan next week. With love, Denise |

You were my inspiration when I joined this board and you remain so to this day. I hope and pray for really good news for you soon. I keep hearing that her 2 will be the first bc they cure-that day can't come soon enough! Roll on total her family blockade! Ellie |
Re: Update - and uber-scanxiety!
Chris, one has to admit that MM302 is not a very sexy name but it sounds good to go after stupid mets! Keeping my fingers crossed until the next scans. Hugs. Michka

Re: Update - and uber-scanxiety!
And your new drug does have "M&M" in it. I noticed even though Caya and Pink, our official chocolites, did not. So it has to be doing something good.
I cheer and root for you and many others here every day. And the day will come when this cancer thing is done and gone. |
Re: Update - and uber-scanxiety!
Hoping for mmgood.
Sending love, hugs and a TON of strength! We are with you. Love Flori |
Re: Update - and uber-scanxiety!
Cris, and Karen too,
Sending lots of good thoughts as you wait for your scan results. Hoping you can "use" the angst of the waiting to heighten your awareness and enjoyment of some good moments in the coming days. But knowing there will be moments of anxiety, too -- and again, sending love and good thoughts for all of it. Out there on the cutting edge(s) where you two are, it must be amazing. You're dealing not just with "the usual" stuff of treatment, side effects, and response -- but with everyone's (researchers, practitioners, patients) emotions and hope for success. If you're in the mood, would you talk about that part of it? I have no idea what it's like, but can imagine that there are both good and hard things about being in this position? Debbie Laxague |
Re: Update - and uber-scanxiety!
Hi, Debbie,
Thanks for your good vibes and wishes! I'm not worried, get the results tomorrow. My CEA is just a few points above normal, they've been taken down by half after six weeks alone. The rest of the bloods look good, so tomorrow, when we see how well the regimen is doing in terms of measurement now that my oncologist is in ATTACK MODE, I'll be sure to let everyone know. I also feel a sense of responsibility and need to do well because I'm the first on Pertuzumab. Looks good so far, let me tell you. I have full trust in my oncologist and her nature and mission, and I know she would never put me in harm's way. So I'm letting it all happen under her watch. Thanks so much for asking about this "part" of treatment. Love Karen |
Re: Update - and uber-scanxiety!
Debbie L -
You always say the most perceptive things - and you are SOOO right, the way way cutting edge side of the house is very different, even different from the still cutting-edge but further along in the process area of Phase II studies. I will post more later on this topic, I have even more perspective on this than I did in San Antonio... Have to go to a meeting with my boss right now tho:) |
Re: Update - and uber-scanxiety!
Chrissy you don't have to have a sexy treatment--you're sexy enough already! We know you were the sexpot on stage at the Genentech reception! I actually think thats why they asked you to be a part of the group!
Keep being our trailblazer..... Keeping you and Karen in my thoughts and prayers. |
