Re: Scan Results and 1st Taxotere
Well, this is a bit worrisome. I don't like the upward trend of your tumor markers. How did you react to Taxotere when you were on it last?
Also, Kim will you be getting a biopsy? If yes, would your oncologist send your tissue sample for a genetic profile? I did this last month and the lab returned not only the exact genetic mutation on my tumor but also a drug that has shown promise with this particular mutation. (Afinitor).
Providentially, I got a call today from my primary doc that my routine blood work came back with abnormal liver function tests - back to my oncologist on Tuesday to discuss next steps. You and I seem to track each other ... so now we have to work hard and keep reaching out to NED.
Keep us posted please....
Love Kim (from CT)
