Great MRI result!!
 

For those who haven't heard my saga with brain mets to date... 12 mm lesion in cerebellum found in 01/06, treated via cyberknife, it regrew, and removed surgically 03/07.

Stubborn little cancer cells, were starting to regrow again, and was at 8 mm when it was treated via Gamma Knife 9/24/07.

MRI yesterday showed that the lesion is now at 1mm and the rest of the brain is clear. So the neurologist thinks the Gamma Knife worked this time!

We will follow up in 3 months, and I plan to be NED from brain mets at that point!!! I am on Tykerb now also, perhaps the combination of Gamma knife and the extra effort put in by the Tykerb are knocking out this pesky mets lesion for good.

Great news Esther. Hoping you will have your dance with NED very soon.

all the best

Esther,

That's wonderful news. Hopefully the Tykerb will be just enough to hold the brain mets at bay.

Hallelujah Esther!! I will send some of my magical Tykerb energy your way...

I am VERY happy for you!!!!!!!! I've got a tear and I am a little choked up...

Esther,

What a great news. Wishing you a clean next Brain MRI. Are you on Herceptin too along with Tykerb?

Great News!!!!
 

This sounds like great news to me. I hope brain mets are now history for you. You have to get ready for the slopes.
Best wishes,
Barbara H.

Julie, I have been on Tykerb since April of this year, and we added Herceptin back in about 3 weeks ago. For now, that is the plan to continue with Tykerb and Herceptin.

Congratulations on your wonderful news!

Barb

GO Esther! Come NED!

Ester,
So happy for you! Glad to see that your treatment is doing the job.

Kind Regards,
Jean

Dear Esther -
I am so glad you good news mirrors the good news I got last week on scar finally shrinking.

I am glad you are on the Herceptin combo and think Tykerb was a good move for you. I would take it in a heartbeat if it seemed necessary.

Just get back to that personal trainer and say "hello" to the ski slopes!

You go girl
 

Esther - what great news and I am so happy for you

keep up the good work.
