Thumbs up Great News Chrissy

I Am So Happy For You My Friend. This Gives Great Inspiration To The Rest Of Us. I Am Myself Looking At That Combo Should I Start Failing On The Tykerb/xeloda Combo.

I Am Happy To Hear That You Are Not Having Any Bad Side Effects. I Was Worried About The Avastin Side Effects And I Guess You Get To Keep Your Hair With That One Huh?

You Take Care And Keep Up The Good Work. Keep Me Posted Please. I Will Be Rescanned The End Of June And We Will See What Is Happening Inside.

Heh And I Say, Celebrating Is Doing What Makes You Happy And Planting Tomatoes And Gardening Is A Joy Of Mine Also.

Have A Great Day

Hi Chrisy,

Okay, I am right with you. I LOVE my tomato plan and pulling weeds. I work on both whether I am sad or happy. Notice I say tomato plant - I only can get one to live. I am not much for "special" celebrations although I will tell you that when my Tykerb arrived I set up a shrine with candles and prayed around it - nutty huh?

I hope that you have a great weekend and enjoy your painting, planting and good wine with you husband!

Love, hope, and peace,

Carolyn

thank you for the update

STOPPED DEAD IN THE TRACKS is good! It is the step before RETREAT! I'm happy to hear the news and will continue to hope for no side effects but hard core EFFECTS. I appreciated what you shared about the fact that these are not chemo drugs and therefore the process is different. It is a good sign, too, I think that the approval came for 15 in the study.

You know what I else I hope for, Chrisy, big, juicy, deliciousy tomatoes!

Keep up the great work!
