WONDERFUL NEWS. NED can't ask for nothing better than that. Congrats Alan.

Taxotere has left me with chronic fatigue for 1-2 weeks, totally took me off my feet. My last dose was 05-25-07 and still all my engery isn't back. It certainly can kick some butt...

Don, I too am disappointed, but sounds like there is hope there also. You are a fighter and you have beaten the odds before and you will again. As for the fibrosis I was told that also, I now have a bit of pneumonia and scheduled a ct on Mon. apparently from what they told me it is radiation induced, hoping the antibiotics work as I have felt awful and am ready to start feeling better. Best of luck. Keep us informed.

Only positive thoughts Joel's way.

Prayers being sent to you and your family.

Gail, if you will read my profile below I too was where you are now. I was not offered chemo as a precaution. I have a recurrence and have been told that if I would have taken chemo after my surgery chances are I would not be going through what I am now. My onc. said they were just now discovering that lc with no lymph involvement that had chemo after surgery has a better outcome. Good luck with your decision.

Heather, glad it is behind you now. Hope recovery is short and you are feeling better soon.
-
Yep I agree, I would want to know what they are radiating. Sounds like a conference with the doc in is order. Let us know.
-
I like hearing good news, Mom's are tough. May her recovery be short and painless.

Welcome Will, sorry for your wife's dx, as you begin the journey know there are alot of survivors here who have or are in the same situation and are surviving. Keep us informed.
-
Gail, I think its to soon to feel great yet, took me a couple of months, every one is different. As for the cough I did not have that, but could be a side effect of one of your medicines, I would call my doc and ask. I do have a hacking cough sometimes at night but not enough to be bothersome. Welcome hope we have helped answer some of your concerns.

All good vibes being sent your way. Best of luck

Wendy, welcome and I will you and your family to my prayers...
-
So sorry you have to be here, but support is here when you should need it. Prayers your way.

Mark, sorry you have to be back, looks as though you have a lot of support and people who do remember you.
Sorry let I did not have the opportunity to know Leslie sounds like a she was a lovely lady.

Susan, thanks for your reply, was hoping to get some answers, and thanks for your prayers, I don't understand why others on the board get alot of comments and others don't. Oh well, I appreciate yours. I keep us all in our prayers. Thanks again.

Have a question, a bit unsure whether this is good news or bad. My mega chemo treatment was 05-03-07 at that time was told my blood work was beautiful, mega dose has really kicked my butt. Wasn't feeling well, achy joints, severe fatigue went to my pcp who ordered labs, of course WBC and RBC down some but the concern is my sed rate which came back 50 (norm is 20) pcp told me 1 of 2 things going on, cancer cells were dying off or cancer has spread. I'm scheduled for my last mega treatment of chemo this Friday in which I will take my lab report with me. Need some encouraging news or hope here. Anyone who can tell me if theirs has been that high and not been a spread of cancer. My liver function test was normal ?

Scared one of the many emotions you will have, it gets somewhat easier, and is just one of many you will have, no matter what you are feeling try to post here, there are alot of people including myself who have "been there, done that" who will make it much easier. You are in the right place.
-
Cheryl, your in the right place, this forum has made such a difference in my attitude and the way I think. Hope it does the same for you.
-
Wonderful news, enjoy that engagement party, Love to hear this kinda stuff.....
-
Tracy, I agree with all the above. My last appointment with rad. onc. I voiced concern about pain in my collar bone area (concerned about bone mets) and she told me that nerve endings are damaged with radiation and chemo and that she was sure it was not a recurrence of cancer only nerve damage. I took what she said and now I don't notice it as much. With each pain we all think Cancer. Praying for good scans.

Great news Don, Praying for a cure...
-
Great news Don, while I was going thru my radiation there were people who I talked with that was going thru cyberknife for different things and they all seemed to be doing better then before it started. One lady I talked with had cyberknife for a brain lesion, her husband told of how dizzy and her train of thought was all confused and she had times where she couldnt get out what she was wanted to say, he said after 3 treatments she was her old self. Wonderful outcomes with that treatment and I know it will be for you too. Keep us updated.
New here, Mom in the process of diagnosis

Hi Mandi, your so young to have to deal with this, but it is here and you try and stay strong for Mom.
I'm sure with all her health problems right now she would quailify for SSI of SSD and help with her medical bills. I certainly know how it is to worry about those things. I try not too but it is hard. I just give up my job last week it was a tough decision but I've had bi-lateral pneumonia and my oxygen was below 95 before that and I just am not going to push myself anymore. I spent 4 days in the hospital and had alot of time to think things through. I'll work on my health first so I can be here for my family as long as I can. Good luck sweetie keep us updated.
