Mom update
Hello gals (and guys)!
It's been several months but I just wanted to give you all an update on Mom. Quick History: Dx at Stage IV in 3/2004 with mets to liver and lungs. Did 9 months of taxol/carbo/herceptin and shrunk the tumor to less than 1cm. Continued on Herceptin alone until Aug/2005 b/c a spot on her spine showed up. Did 15tx of rads to spine and began navelbine/herceptin. Took this combo until scans in Feb. showed no cancer in liver, lungs, or bone BUT a lymph node under her breast lit up on her scans. So she began FEC Feb/2006 until June. Since March she began to have increased pain in her breasts. Scans last month show that she is still all clear in the liver, lungs, bones but she has a new spot in the soft tissue near her clavicle. So....she's now on Xeloda, Zometa, and back on herceptin. Her onc. really wants her to try the Tykerb as well. Well, that's about it, just wanted to let you all know that she is feeling really well at the moment and hopefull that all these new tx will keep coming!
xoxo,
Brittany
