I've had (3) treatments of the T-DM1 study drug, and it has shown to be very powerful! Three months ago there were activity in my liver and lymph nodes in my back. I just got my PET/CT scan results and I'm happy to report all (5) lesions are not present in my liver, and the nodes are clean.

Everyday we come closer to a cure!

Hugs-Verna

and just only 3 cycles. I am so happy for you my friend.

I guess you are getting ready for the Pink Dragon Ladies Paddle race. You are one amazing lady..... I dont know how you do it.

I really would love to come back to the club and actually get to paddle in a competition. This has been a tough year for me and am just now getting to feel a little stronger. I was in the hospital for 3 days due to critically low white counts and some fever so I had to go in to be sure that there was not an infection going on.

I just came back from my third cycle of IXPEPRA/XELODA and I will be scanning in about 3 weeks and we will see what is happening. I ran into Cassandra at the oncs office. She looks great.

Hope we can get together soon for lunch . Let me know what is good for you.

Take care

Verna,

That's GREAT news. It's funny, I just responded to a private email telling how Caryn has also had a great response on the weekly version of this drug. Caryn's tm's came down from 1700+ to 900+ after only 3 treatements as well!!! Great stuff, let's hope it get's only better for her , you and all the other wonderful people still on this drug.
