Hey Pam!

What a tower of strength you have proven to be against this pernicious sneaky disease.

Lovely new photo as well. You look more rested now that you are no longer working. I think it does make a difference to have that energy to channel into your treatment and healing.

Sending lots of hope for good scan results.

Hi Pam,
Congratulations on nine years...you are one tough lady & a true inspriation to us all! With all you have been thur I am always amazed at how you find time to support your Her2 sisters. Your support and kind words of wisdom mean so much to me and the others fighting this battle.

I will be thinking of you on July 6th...I have a PET scan that same day as you--so will be easy to remember. I'll be keeping good thoughts & prayers for both of us. Here's to you having many, many more years ahead.

By the way, forgot to mention, I LOVE your new pic!

Hi Pam,

Congratulations on your 9th anniversary. You will enjoy sooo many more.

How do I look up for Jessica. Are you referring to Novalis tx treatment? Did she have this type of radiation treatment to her liver?

I'm looking into this treatment for my recurrence to lung cancer. My doctor is moving rather slowly on this. I switched from wanting to go to the TDM1 trial to this radiation treatment since attending a seminar this past week.

It's amazing what it does for tumors on the body, specizally for someone like me with mets to lung. It also does wonders for people with mets to liver, brain, etc.

No down time, 3-4 treatments of radiation, little fatigue, and the most beautiful thing of all--NO CHEMO!!!...

I appreciate a response. Thank you.

Thank you all for your greetings and helping me celebrate this 9 year mark.

Adriana - Jessica is JML on this site. You can search for her posts. The novalis was for a brain met. The liver treatment a targeted chemo to the liver cells. But look it up on her posts for better info.

New wig - new photo. I do have my own hair growing in now too, but it's so thin and still very short. I don't always wear the wig now but the wig looks better than my sparse little wisps. I'm getting my hair trimmed next week to try to get some shape to it. Maybe I'll put up a photo of it then for fun.

Wishing you all the best in your new treatment....
and WOW 9 yrs. Major Milestone!

So very happy you.
Hugs,
Jean

Hi Pam! I'm impressed with the photo too -- very, very nice! Can I give it a soft yank, just to make sure it really is a wig? I'm sharing your 9 year history with my older sister this week. She was diagnosed with IDC 10 years ago, and then this year with IBC. As you know, there aren't a lot of road signs to go by, and sometimes there isn't even much of a path out there to follow. I always look forward to your posts.
