Difference between oncology and voodoo?
 

I have just been through the 4 monthly scanxiety, but am happy to report that I am still stable, with even a tiny amount of further shrinkage on those nasty liver mets. (Described last time as almost immeasurable and probably inactive - we in Oz don't seem to talk much about NED!)
So I continue with Herceptin/ Tamoxifen and Denosumab, and while of course there are side effects, I have been feeling very well. After a great summer, I travelled to Morocco during April and am already planning the next (short) trip. I am even beginning to get used to my curly locks; at least it hasn't grown back grey!
I asked my doctor the above question yesterday and he replied that it takes longer to become an oncologist!??!! An insult to witch doctors?
More seriously, we spoke of the obvious research trends towards tumour profiling and the individualisation of treatment - but still such a long way to go.
In the meantime, let's make hay!
Best wishes to all...... Pam

That's great news Pam. Lol at your question to your oncologist. Glad the current 'medicine' is working. And wow - Morocco - jealous much? One day ��

Pam!
Stable is almost as good as NED in my book! Congratulations!!

And...I think your curly locks are quite becoming!! :) Although, I thought you rocked the scarf in your old avatar too!

Morocco? You Aussies take waaaaaay better vacations than the Americans I know do (including me!) Seriously! I get all excited about visiting another state... and you ladies take trips to exotic places like Bali, Fiji, and Morocco! :) I'm jealous too!

So happy for your good scans! And even more happy that you're enjoying life in spite of BC! You're a role model my friend!!
