Hi Joy,

My Mom was diagnosed with liver and lung mets in March '04. All has been stable until this summer a small spot popped up on her T10 vertebra. She has since had the spot radiated and started chemo again after a 9 month break. She is doing great and her doctors didn't seem too worried about the bone involvement at all. I remember her dr. said - now you might not have been expecting this, but we were. And that it was a blip on the radar screen but totally manageable. They gave her no indication that it meant that it was headed to the brain next or that it was anywhere near the end. They even said to her that they would treat this as a chronic disease and knock it down wherever and whenever it pops up.

All the best,
Brittany

PS I used to attend Northern Colorado in Greeley. :)
