Smile Thanks to Tykerb
I have been feeling really good lately. I have so much energy. I thought it was because of my Xeloda schedule 1 week on, 1 week off.

To my surprise my oncologist's office called me today with very good news. My CA 27-29 tumor marker is now in the normal range. I am excited as my last scans showed a very good response. I am so Thankful that I am able to have these drugs. I actually cried tears of Joy when I heard the news. I get to see my family next week and Celebrate! This 4th of July is going to be very special indeed.
I hope you all have a wonderful safe Holiday too!

Thank you for the very kind words. I am truly excited and feeling great these days. I have been thinking about you. How are you doing now? I hope the Radiosurgery went well. I have been praying for you and all our brain mets sisters. God Bless you.

That's great that the Tykerb is working so well for you! I'm having a great response to it as well.

My energy level corresponds to how well I am doing as well. Hope you have a long, long time of feeling well on Tykerb.
