Its Back

[ariana]

Hi Mtngrl, so far it seems to be working Mixture of Taxol,Perjeta, and Herception.

The first round, the lump on my neck shrank and by the second round, it
disappeared . Just had my third installment today, I hope what it's doing
to the lymph nodes-that it's working on my lungs as well with the 6 spots that I have.

I had been offered a clinical trial at the time I finished up, but was in good shape
and was afraid of unwanted side effects. SINCE NOTHING WAS IN THE LYMPH NODES
I felt safe. Had there been a problem there with having to remove any, I would have
assumed that the cells would be or could be hiding even with radiation. I would have went for the program. Different drugs that have been used I think have been canceled
like kdyle sorry the spelling is awful . Those that are on can stay and that's it. Theres nothing being offered right now except what we have. I thought things like Dendrite cell
therapy actually meant something. What we have can keep it at bay for awhile, buts far from a cure.

Thanks for asking, mentally I am holding up, its a matter of being vigil from now
on. I had gone in for a ct for side effects of the Arimidex, and they did from top to bottom and that was a year ago this coming Nov.. Nothing in the blood work.
It happened so fast and unexpected . No mention of the use of radiation right now
just the chemo, and if it fails to do its job I will have to repeat with something else.
BUT if the neck is any indication of how the lung is reacting to it, I should be OK.
