GOOD NEWS!!..... at last! :-))
 

Dearest friends sorry I haven't been around - I have been in and out of Palliative Care - and finally got some GOOD NEWS just before Christmas!

The 6 brain metastases I had in my brain have ALL GONE!! Can you believe it? I can hardly believe it myself! I think they found them in September - I went for my 2 weeks of whole brain radiation, and then returned home to commence Xeloda/Tykerb. Just before Xmas - while in PC - I had a catscan and found those mets in my brain have disappeared!!

Which is so good - as the day before they were talking about ceasing treatment as it was making me SO sick - nausea, vomitting, diarrohea - and if they did that I would probably have 2 months to live!!!!!?? SO thank God for the catscan.... and thank God for your prayers and support.

It is amazing as since I was diagnosed this time with the cancer returning HER2 - about August last year I have had nothing but bad reports... cancer spread to my hip, ribs, lung, brain... and no treatment seemed to be helping at all.

So I got to spend Xmas/New year at home with my hubby and beautiful bubbas ~
miracles do happen eh?

Now I'll wait to see the Oncologist in about 1 week - as they have ceased the Xeloda and reduced the Tycerb a little - so I'll have to see how I go on that.

Hope you all had a blessed , joyful and peaceful Xmas/New year. So grateful for each of you and this amazing group.

Dear Wonder Woman - Your new nickname!

If nothing else, we DO learn PATIENCE (http://her2support.org/vbulletin/ima...ons/icon14.gif) on this website. That is while we wait to see how our sisters in the active fight are faring, while holding them close in our hearts and wishing every good prayer in their direction.

So happy to hear the good news about your brain. Now there must be more scans in the near future to see how the rest of the tumors are shrinking as well!

Those little ones are SO happy to see their Mum!

Hermiracles,

Your news is wonderful and I hope more to come. Keep up the good work. Your bubbas get cuter and cuter...thank-you so much for sharing!
