Hi Vanessa,

Thanks for asking, my last Cat scan showed a signifigant improvement in the liver and the tumor on my Pancreas is stable so that was good news. I did have a severe reaction to the Carboplatin so I am only having Taxotere and Herceptin right now. I will see my onc on Nov 21st to discuss this. He may put me in the hospital to get the Carbo. To heavily pre medicate me because the treatment was working so well. Although I know I will never be NED I plan on fighting this with all I have. It will be three years in January that I have been on constint Chemo but I will never give up. How are you doing? I pray all is well and look forward to hearing from you. Thanks so much for your concern I love you!
