Friends!

I just got off the phone with my wonderful MO, Amy Clarke...and
the insurance co has approved 4 more doses of Avastin!!

Woo Hoo! Yay! Hooray!
That's 8 more weeks of trying to nix that swelling!
and NOT popping steroids like M&Ms!

Merry Christmas in July to me!!
Certainly the best gift I've ever gotten for Jesus' Half-Birthday!

Thanks for all the prayers and support!
Have a celebration drink on my behalf!

Love to all!
Denise

Time for the HAPPY DANCE!

Awww, getting caught up and reading your posts have been like tucking into a good novel. I am over the moon happy that your story ended with Avastin AND insurance coverage of same. So proud of you Chemo Ninja and here is a toast to this being your magic bullet!
XOXO

Oh my....I just read this now. I am a bit behind with the times I guess. You made me lol with the M and M's comment. Love it!
I'm glad you are able to restart with the avastin.

Re: Avastin approved!!
 
Thanks friends!
Well... this Thursday is Avastin infusion #3... of the 2nd round... so I guess it's really #7... but ... WHATEVER!

The Monday after infusion #4 (8?) I'll have an MRI to see the results of this round.
I haven't been able to drop below 2mg/day of dex yet, but on the bright side...
I haven't had to bump it up either.
So... that means things are at least stable. And stable is pretty darn good!

I hope one day to be steady on my feet, and have my right hand do what I want it to do again (like write legibly!)
Seriously, a headless chicken with a crayon grasped in its claw could easily forge my signature better than I can do it myself right now.
Either no one cares whether the signatures match, or I shop so much, all the cashiers know me. Sadly, for my bank account... it's probably the second one. :)

Anyway... that's the latest.
Love to all!
Denise

I've been out of the loop, Denise, but I definitely want to add my voice to the chorus of amens, yippees, woohoos and woots. I'm very glad you're still around and still feisty as ever. Keep it up, here's hoping the second round finishes what the first round began.
