Don Wood Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Well, rats! And other appropriate expletives! We went to the med onc today and got the PET scan report. The LC has returned in multiple parts of Lucie's body. Liver (some new places -- and the onc has ordered a CAT scan to assess better, which she will undergo on Friday). Bones: right hip, sacrum, spine - several places, lower left rib posterior, right shoulder. her right lower leg has been hurting again, so that is most probably a spot as well. Onc has ordered Navelbine/Gemzar combination to start Thursday. First week, both; second week, Navelbine alone; third week, nothing. She will also get Neulasta and Aranesp shots for blood buildup. We are disappointed, yes, but there are treatments. We are hopeful that this treatment will be as successful as previous ones. Keep us in your prayers.

Ry Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Rats, rats, and rats again! I am glad there are still options open to Lucie. As a friend of mine once told me, worry when they send you home and say there's nothing else they can do. Hang in there Don and Lucie.

nancy c Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Don and Lucie, these were not the test results anyone would want --but if anyone can fight this it is dear Lucie . She is such a fighter and has done well in the past--so let's just hope and pray, pray, and pray all will be well. Stay strong and hang in there. Don, you have been one of the most supporting people on this post for me. So I know you will be pushing Lucie along the fight. God bless, Nancy C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
