Re: Pam
Hi Pink Girl -
Thanks for asking about me. I've been lurking, checking the site, but not posting much lately. I don't have much new to report.
I'm feeling pretty good. I'm now on xeloda, tykerb, herceptin, aromasin, zometa. The hand/foot stuff hasn't started to get bad yet.
I don't know yet how well it's working. My last tumor marker was up 50 points which was good news compared to the 500 pt jump the month before. I'm praying that next month I see that number decrease.
Thanks. Pam

Re: Pam
Pam,
Good to hear that markers are stable and soon to be declining.
I hope the stability provides reassurance and allows you to emotionally regain your strength. With summer quickly approaching, it will be nice to get out into some sunshine and enjoy the outdoors.
Thinking of you...glad you posted.
Lori

Re: Pam
Thank you all for your postings and good wishes. It's so great to know that you are thinking of me -- as I am also thinking of and checking the site for all of you. Yes, Lori, with summer weather it's healing to be outside and enjoy the greening up and new growth. I have iris and bleeding hearts blooming in my garden now along with cranesbill. The peonies have buds and will be next to bloom. Today I'm going to plant a few vegetables - tomato, pepper, green beans, some herbs...
