Re: NEW POOPY UPDATE to NEW update on chrisy...scanxiety replay on the horizon

Go Chrisy, Go! Nothing better than a smart woman that is pissed off and ready to fight. Between all of the tests, the techs and the equipment...it is a mine field out there. Congratulations for picking your way through gently and with determination. I agree, you are the center of our universe. Good, good, good vibrations......The Beach Boys will sing it for you!

Hugs,

Crisy,

Your posts reminded me of a Chinese expression: "Emporer 'Wen' got upset and then had the whole nation under control/all people living in peace!"

Sometimes it's good/necessary to get upset!

Sending you good vibes.

Uh oh. Someone's spamming Chris' thread again. They never learn.

Still, this seems like a good time to say that I hope all is going smoothly with your new treatment, Chris, and that you're feeling well.

Sending healing thoughts your way.

Re: NEW POOPY UPDATE to NEW update on chrisy...scanxiety replay on the horizon

Chrisy I love your cheerfullness,

That said I wanted to say that I really second StephN post.

From what you say you have only one tumour in the liver.. not sure phase 1 trial of a single inhibitor is yet for you, and hope never.. off course no one can tell it could work. My advice be hard and mean to the f***er, zap if you can there is a max size at which this can be done. maybe a trial with chemo and an inhibitor..

I just needed to say.

Re: NEW POOPY UPDATE to NEW update on chrisy...scanxiety replay on the horizon

Hey! Whatcha been doing on my thread???

turn my back for a minute?...actually. Spent the rest of the next hour deleting spam.

Heading into scanxiety land next week, scan on Tuesday to see if this chemo/herceptin/akt. Inhibitor is as nasty to that stooped tumor as it has been to my hair...and appetite...and.beautiful complexion...and neutrophils.

I misspelled stoopid on purpose, because the tumor is too stupid to know how to spell.
