Jodi Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 I'm happy to report, that my mom, Rosie, had her results, from the chest x-ray and the primary tumor has shrunk, almost half in size! She still has more chemotherapy (4 more) and 5 more radiation treatments scheduled, so I am hopeful, for further shrinkage! Can anyone tell me, if this is a significant result? I fear getting my hopes up, but I feel good about it! Really good! Today, anyway....but I guess we take it one day at a time, right? Quote

melindasue37 Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 Wow, that is really GREAT news! It sounds to me like your Mom is on the right track. I think you should definately get your hopes up...and celebrate...and let your Mom know how proud of her you are. After we found the right chemo combination, my Mom had 50% reduction too. It took two more treatments and we now have NED. As you mentioned, it is so much of a roller coaster ride and you have to live for those good reports and enjoy the news!!! I'm really happy for you both. Quote
