Trip 3 to MD Anderson
 

I leave for MDAnderson tomorrow. I will have a check up with Dr. C, treatment and a ultrasound of the chest area. Please say a little prayer that the test and check up go well. I won't have a computer with me this time and I will give you the up date when I get home Thursday night.

Peace

Here's to hoping (and praying) all is well!

Have a good trip, Alice. I'll be believin' for good results! ma

Hi I'm home!!!
My blood was good. They saw some change on my ultrasound so they took a few cells out and they looked fine. So I'm good.

I am so thankful for Herceptin
and tomorrow is my Birthday
and I am a 15 month NED IBC cancer survivor !!

Thanks be to God!

My hope is the gift of the day finds each and every one of us!

Alice, what a great birthday present!

Brilliant news Alice I am so pleased for you.Just to say it is only recently that I noticed that they had found old mets in your back that makes me doubly pleased that everything is looking good for you. Did you see Dr C?
Ellie

Thanks guys!!

Ellie, Yes I did see Dr. C. and a Fellow of his, a new one each time.
Did you know the next international IBC conference in December 2010 will be in France? Dr. C and many others will be there. I remember you being IBC also. Right? Maybe you could go.

Congratulations on a great check up. Keep up the great work.

Oh Alice! that is such great news...a a doubly great birthday present! Did you stay at one of the hotels there and how long were you there? I've not been coming to the site as much lately, but when I logged on and saw your post it brought a big smile to my face. I am so very happy with you and i can't wait to get there myself (September). Let me know how long you stayed the first time (I think LaMartha said it was 10 or 11 days) and where you stayed as I would want to stay at the same hotel. Whoopee! I love great news like this.
Much love and hugs, vickie

Would be easy for me to get to France so fingers crossed I will make it.

Vickie-really pleased you are going to see Dr C in September. It is still on my list of possibilities also

Love Ellie

Hey Vickie! I'm so glad to see you, I have missed you.

Great news you will be seeing Dr. C. He is great and I can't say enough good things about the clinical teams.

This trip I had two days of travel and one day at MDAnderson. I stay at the La Quinta on Buffalo Speedway. Reasonable rates, clean and frendly. They have a free shuttle to the hospital. The first time I was there over a weekend.Maybe it was around eight days.

Ellie, You are going to make it to France next year. Joe just posted a trial for you in England. We still have many tools in our tool box for you! You're going to kick that IBC to the road.

Love,

Alice,

SO happy that you continue to do well!! Awesome!! I wish you a very happy birthday with MANY more ahead!!

Hugs,
Lexi

Alice, thanks for vote of confidence. I'm still praying for the cure for us all.Let's hope Dr C and his team turn the key and unlock the mystery of IBC,I'm sure we must be very, very near.
love Ellie

Ellie and Alice
 

Thank you, Ellie and Alice,
I called Anderson last week and they said I would need to be there 10 to 11 days. Don't know why but I wil make the trip. My right breast has become so inflamed again with several new tumors. Just when I thought things were going so well.....ah, well, I'll keep fighting this as long as I can, trying to get to that 6 year mark! I loved hearing from both of you and Ellie, I hope you get to France and on that trial soon. Love to you both always, Vickie
