Good Results
 

I had an MRI of my neck yesterday to check the bone mets and today the onc told me that the report said "the previously described enhancement at C3 signifigantly improved as compared to 6/6/07." That would be the Tykerb/Xeloda doing it's job! He did say that I have "significant arthritis" in my neck though (which I didn't know about), and that is what is causing my mild but constant neck pain. At least it's not a tumor spot! I will take arthritis anyday over tumor! LOL

What wonderful news!!!!!!!!!!!! I would take arthritis of cancer anyday too. keep up the good work your in my prayers.

Brenda,

Looks like the treatment is working extremely well. Arthritis is better than cancer any day.

Great news!!!! I am happy to hear it.

What great news! Keep on the attack!

Brenda,

That is absolutely wonderful news and I was so happy to read about it. It made my heart happy for you.

And you are right - arthritis - hemmoroids - dry skin - a cold - the flu - ANYTHING BUT CANCER. http://www.her2support.org/vbulletin...cons/icon7.gif

Thanks Nancy Dip

Thanks to all for sharing in this stage of happy news. Waiting to schedule a 6 month PET in the next couple of weeks, then colonoscopy and GYN visit. It is a busy month! Our medical life is a full-time affair, huh?

Nancy Dip - yes, yes, yes, - that is part of the hope of Tykerb/Xeloda, it crosses the BBB. Not many b/c chemos do for sure, most are too big a molecule to make the journey. We know for sure that Xeloda and Carbo do. And as far as targeted agents, we know that Tykerb does also, where Herceptin doesn't. But they are working on a smaller molecule Herceptin....

Great news! Keep up the fight! Just to let you know l love the Lorel mineral make-up. Thanks for the info.

Yeah, baby - that's what I like to hear. Nothing but normal aches and pains! How special to feel LUCKY to have arthritis. Sounds like your social calendar is quite full. I never needed a calendar before canser.

Thanks for sharing your good news.

Good news Brenda, you go girl!!!!!
