12 Years and Stage IV - No sign of my cancer
 

Hello everyone -

I also got good news today. So will add mine to the others posting of late.

It was January of 2002 that my diagnosis upped itself from stage II to IV. Thus I am looking back on a much longer trail of years than I ever thought possible on that dull January day when my med onc announced my elevated CA 27-29 levels and I told him about my side ache.

The only thing I need to work on is improving my DEXA scan scores and hope that taking more calcium will make a difference. Perhaps I will go back on one of the infused or injectable bone hardners by summer.

That is great news Steph!!! I had good success with Forteo (injectable) for my severe osteoporosis. 18% gain in bone mass after 2 years. I saw Dr. Julie Carkin, Seattle Radiology. She was terrific!

Way to go Steph. You are an inspiration to all of us and one of my personal heroes on this board.

I had good luck with my bones with Zometa and getting my vitamin D in line to over 60. Seemed everything turned around after that.

Love and hugs
