Hi All,
Yahoo, I finally get to post on good news board. On 10-9 had a broncoscopy per Pulm's request due to pneumonia in September that had not cleared up yet according to x-rays. After bronc (which Pulm did biopsy), he went out and told my husband, well I have good news and bad news. Good news is I can't find the tumor (was 17cmx8x5 originally), shrunk to 8cmx5x3 after radiation and chemo (first round.) Bad news is pnuemonia still there, (I'm still on antibiotics.) Today when I went into Onc. she said that the biopsy came back "NEGATIVE"..... She wants me to finish one more treatment of Taxol/Carbo and then we will do a PET and see what is going on. She also said she wants me to start Taxotere/Carbo as my next treatment.
I have a question, if they can't find the tumor and tests came back negative, is it normal to continue treatment? Has anyone else experienced the same thing and had to continue treatment?
I truly have to say this is the work of the Lord and I have to give him the glory for healing me. My doctor's were guided on my treatment by my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.... By his Stripes, I am healed. Thank you.
God Bless
Karen
