Update from Adriana

Hi Everyone, Hope you all ready for the Holidays!!!

Just a short note to let everyone know that everything is stable, muga and bone scan clear, CA2729 within normal range.

Next week, December 17th will have the lung needle biopsy, so my oncologist can order the tumor sequencing test from Foundation One. I will appreciate a little prayer in my name, Thank you.

It's almost twenty years for me, and am still here, I hope that new members in need of support and medical information feel inspired not just by me, but by so many other women who have gone through this disease, sad to say some are no longer with us, but at the same time there have been so many other women on this site who have beat this disease and for that I'm thankful to them, because I don't think I could've walked this path without their unconditional love, support and advice I have received all throughout this ordeal. Thank you so much.

Happy Holidays and a Healthy and Prosperous New Year!
