Linda's PET scan results
Good evening to all our cyber-friends,
Linda and I got here PET scan results today.
In April / 2004 Linda had Jaundiced, had mets to 80% of her liver, had mets to her hips, and 2 lower vertebrae, and also had mets to her bone marrow.
Since then she has had approx. 6 months of herceptin + navelbin, 4 months of herceptin only, and another 6 months of Xeloda + herceptin.
Her recent PET scan shows:
"mets in the inferior portion of the right lobe of the liver".
This is all very good news for us as we had a "game plan" and it worked; we still have a "game plan" and we are confident that it will succeed.
Thanks to everyone who posts on this site for providing us with the information and confidence to fight and work towards beating this evil thing. 1 1/2 years ago Linda was given 2 weeks to live....today we conceeded that we will see our new grand-daughter graduate high school.
The next step: discussion with the experts in Seattle on the probability of success in their vaccine trail.
Thank you all for your support and words of encouragement!
Al and Linda
