Latest scan results
Friends,
My latest scan results show decreased liver mets, decreased lymph node mets and SOME decreased bone mets. Since I worry about mets on the spine, I'll be having a spinal MRI in a few days, then on to see the radiation oncolgist for his opinion.
I'm currently on Xeloda (lowered to 3000 one day and 2500 the next due to diarhhea. Other than being tired (and what's new) and a wee bit of hand/foot syndrome, things are looking good. Looks like I'll make to another year with a birthday coming up in a few days!
Love and light,
Lisa

Great news! Are you on Xeloda alone, or are you taking anything else. I had to get off my Xeloda for 2 weeks to heal up my hands and feet. I feel guilty not being on it and hope that it hasn't hurt my progression. I am also on taxotere and herceptin...sherryg683

This is the greatest news Lisa. I am not surprised because you looked great and were full of energy when Maryanne and I saw you 2 weeks ago at the LBBC/YSC conference in your stomping grounds.
Have a wonderful birthday.
Love, Becky
