I have never felt so blessed than to see all of your posts with concerns and prayers for me. Thank you so much. I do not have good news to report as far as the test results. I do have several small mets to the brain. I spent all day starting at my doctor's office this morning and then to visit the radiology department and have a consult with their doctor. I start wbr tomorrow for 10 days. When I am through with that, my oncologist will start me on tykerb and zeloda. I still have a petscan scheduled for the 17th of this month to see if the mets in my lymph nodes are completely gone. My tumour markers did shrink from 34 to 8.8, so not all the news was bad. I cannot drive for 2 weeks or keep my grandchildren by myself. My family has also really pulled through for me, by chipping in to drive me to radiation, to my classes and to stay with me on MWF to help me sit with my granddaughter. I am feeling really loved right now. I cannot reiterate enough how wonderful it felt to see all of your posts. I will be joining a few of you in the tykerb tiger club and will be a diarrhea diva. Thanks for being so wonderful. The reason I did not post any sooner, is because I had class tonight, my daughter picked me and then her husband brought over dinner and we all ate together. It was nice.
