Doctor called with good news!
Dr. Silverman just called to tell me my Ct scans looked improved. There is less pleural effusion and the bone mets are stable. She would like to continue with gemsar, herceptin and zometa until January. Thanks to all of you for your prayers and encouragement. You are the only ones who really understand what this is like and I appreciate you more then you know.
Blessings and Love, Lu Ann.

Congrats LuAnn!
prayed for you the first time I "met" you the other day. Gives Thanksgiving a true meaning huh?
Today is my day. Tumor markers. I get so anxious. Wish I could stop it.
God Bless,

Thankyou for your prayers and encouragement!
Thanks to all of you.
Cheryl, we have all been where you are. It's hard not to be concerned when a test can make such a big difference in how we proceed with treatment. I will pray that you get a good report today.
Blessings, Lu Ann.
