Post remission after 7 years of chemo :)
Hi Everyone,
Sorry it has been so long in keeping you updated on my progress.
I started Tykerb/Abraxane last november and pet/ct scans show no new tumors and the 20+ that grew while on tykerb/Xeloda trial last year are very small and I can FINALLY say after fighting with breast cancer for 7 years that I am "POST REMISSION". Hope it stays that way for at least 6 months! That would make me happy.
I will continue on this combo until it is no longer effective!
Just wanted to let everyone know how I am doing and that I will be back visiting the site more often.
Thanks for your support!!
Betty
