Re: Significant Progression-Going On Doxil
 

Yes! I took the daughter of the The Red Devil yesterday. I am good with it! I think it's going to work!
Thank you everyone for thinking of me. I can't help but think I caused some of this on my own: Navelbine was not oncologist first choice, and neither was trial. But I bucked Doxil, I don't know why. It's a top-tier drug. I didn't want to lose my hair again. Yes, really! But I won't! I indulged in sugar and wanton eating, no weight gain, but just doing what I want to do. I forgot how good I'd been with my food: Whole Foods only, no sugars, no white foods. I messed up. O.K., so back to kale, nuts, vegetables, fish, olive oil. Back to caring. Know I can't play with this delicate balance. (See last sentence: July 2010 of signature).

Love to you all. Onward and upward. Back to NED.
Thanks for all, Karen

PS, Just printed all that information, Angel, and I'll be putting it to good use.

Hey darlin'. I am also thinking about you and do often. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Re: Significant Progression-Going On Doxil
 

Thinking of you…any updates???? How are you doing - please I hope you are not feeling any hand/foot yuck-ness. Did I say I am thinking of you?? Even my daughter is asking how you are doing…XO

Re: Significant Progression-Going On Doxil
 

Karen see Lani's post re hand foot syndrome--maybe worth a try!

Hang in there and know we are here for you.

I had Adriamycin and found it was not as hard as Taxol, if that's any comparison.

Karen,

I'm so sorry you've experienced progression. I pray that Doxil knocks the cancer back into NED land.

Sending warm wishes and love.

Re: Significant Progression-Going On Doxil
 

Hi, all,
I'm going for my second infusion this coming week. I find it tolerable thus far. No news to report as I've only had one dose. Doxil is dosed every three weeks. So, Wednesday, the day before my birthday, I'm getting another dose.

Someone PMd me that the CD47 trial was starting up within the next 30 days. Anyone have more news on that?

I am more than hopeful on this regimen. There is neuropathy, but that's about it. Will let you all know how it's going. Just busy with 10-year-old who has not gone to camp yet!

Thanks for your wishes and comments.

Love
Karen

Dear Karen,

I haven't been on the site for a while. Sorry to hear about the progression and hoping the red devil's daughter is a hot dance partner.

Happy Birthday

We have your back Karen. Please stay strong. Nora

Re: Significant Progression-Going On Doxil
 

In your corner, Karen. You're not alone.

Re: Significant Progression-Going On Doxil
 

Watching for good news, wishing that this will be your magic unicorn. Sounds very positive and it seems that you have a good feeling about this treatment.

You are one tough cookie!

Re: Significant Progression-Going On Doxil
 

Well, I got my first CEA back yesterday and it wasn't the news we expected. I am retesting on Friday. Although there was a "slowing" in the curve of the upward trend, it was still upward.

Thanks for keep up with me.

Karen
