Hello everybody! Mom and Dad just called from Houston and Mom got another "great" report from her oncologist. Just to remind everyone where Mom is in treatment, she had been taking taxol/carbo/herceptin for 10 mos and achieved shrinkage of her liver tumor from almost 8cm to around 2cm. Her onc. considers this stable so she has been on herceptin only for the past three months. We were all extremely nervous about this round of tests b/c they also threw in a bone scan since she hadn't had one since diagnosis last spring. Anyway - there was no spread of cancer to her bones or anywhere else. Her liver tumor stayed the same size but her tumor markers have gone down?? Does that make sense? Her heart tests were good also. So it's herceptin for now and she doesn't go back for scans until July. We're all so excited she's stable and she's also feeling great!! Just wanted to pass on the news. Thanks to everyone. Brittany
