Jodi Posted March 28, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melindasue37 Posted March 28, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
