Hi all;

I'm very happy to report that the Ibrance/Letrozole appears to be working. I understand that you have to give this time so after three months (I just finished my 3rd cycle today) I am super stoked to see these results. I'll post the results below. My abdominal CT with contrast was reported separately and NED there so don't think ovarian spread is an issue....although I haven't spoken to my oncologist yet. I see him Aug 2nd. Here we go:

COMPARISON: February 23, 2018.
LUNGS AND TRACHEOBRONCHIAL TREE: Previously 6 mm nodule anteriorly in left
upper lobe has decreased to 4 mm in diameter on image #114. No new pulmonary
nodule.
LYMPH NODES AND MEDIASTINUM: No enlarged thoracic lymph node.
PLEURA AND PERICARDIUM: Previously seen left-sided pleural nodules have either
significantly decreased or resolved. For example
Previously 25 mm anterior paramediastinal nodule has decreased to 12 mm in
diameter.
Previously 27 x 11 mm pleural nodule at upper posterior aspect has decreased to
13 x 4 mm in diameter.

---------
IMPRESSION:
Significant interval improvement, partial response.

Remember this treatment is being used for Her2+ and well as negative!!

best regards,
Cathy
