Lab rat update - week 3
 

Well Ladies -

I went in for a follow up after being on TBFW for 3 weeks. Now my onc seems to think the supraclavicle node is smaller...last week I thought it was a little smaller but he said it was the same. Anyways...the spot in the left breast area we still can't feel although before I began TBFW he thought he felt an area that was a little different. Now he can't even find that! So I have scans scheduled in 5 weeks to see everything from that angle. So all in all I take it as good news!

Hugs,
Leea

Week 4 -

It's shrinking!!!!!!!

I have to go in every week until I reach the 8 week point, then it will be only every 2 weeks for a month and then only once a month. So far so good...shrink node, shrink! :-)

Awesome news!!!!!!!!!! Your in my thoughts and prayers my friend keep up the good work. SHRINK SHRINK SHRINK.............

Excellent news!! Take that you nasty cancer!!

HUgs,

Great news...so far so good....the nodes can truly be a pain in the butt...they just keep comin back for more...I have been fighting them for 4 years! Keep it up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Joy - it's a research company (Kudos Pharmaceuticals) Phase II trial. A pill (well actually 8 pills) I take 2 times a day designed to repair teh BRCA 1 defect to my DNA. Someone was able to find info from the Phase I trial on another thread...maybe search all my posts (there aren't too many) and you can find the excerpt from the article. No side effects, maybe a little fatigue but I can't say for sure that TBFW is the cause...Anyway, so far so good :-)

I need your email
 

Leea,
I have a friend who is on the same protocol as you. She'd like to email you - is that okay? If so, what's your email? She is also being treated at Cedars. And she is young like you! Glad to read your good news. xo Flori
