Smile Update from chrisy on dm1 response

Hi friends,

I want to share some good news with you! After a short bout of post scanxiety inscanity (caused by a communication breakdown - my NP thought her coworker had called me and so didn't call me herself. Which I of course interpreted as SHE DOESN'T WANT TO CALL ME BECAUSE THE NEWS IS SOOOOOO BAD)...

My PET/CT scan results after my #8 infusion of T-DM1 reads as follows:
bla bla bla bla bla blabla bla bla bla bla blabla bla bla bla bla blabla bla bla bla bla blabla bla bla bla bla blabla bla bla bla bla bla
IMPRESSION:
1. The previously seen lesion within the anterior dome of the liver is less well seen and is now isointense with liver with a maximum SUV value of 3.1.
2. (WAIT FOR IT........)
No evidence of metastatic disease is seen on the current examination.

HOLY S#%T!!!!!!

BTW, the report also noted multiple body areas as "unremarkable", including my brain, so we know it's an accurate scan!

Kidding aside, this drug is a great drug - I had to fight to stay on the study because of high LFT's, and I'm so glad I did!

Much love to all
Chris
