lc46 Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Well Good News Here Today. My Moms Tumor has shrunk from 9x8 Cm to 2x1 Cm. I must say we are estatic. She started her 3rd round today and they upped it back up the 20% that they took away from the last round because of her white count. Her counts are up, she is tolerating chemo extremely well, her spirits are up and I must say this is the best Thanksgiving of my life. We sat next to another woman today waiting for chemo who is going on 2 years in April with Extensive Small Cell (and she still smokes ) so that also gave my Mom lots of hope. I hope to be back soon to report more good news for Christmas!!! Take Care Everyone. Dar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daggiesmom Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 That is truly wonderful shrinkage! I'm sure she's feeling better. I remember having a big shrink number too (don't remember exactly the number, but it was dramatic) after the first two sessions. Everyone was delighted. Please give your Mom a "Hip, Hip Hooray" from me. Joanie ((())) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lc46 Posted November 29, 2006 Author Share Posted November 29, 2006 Joanie My Mom was told today that she also has a "cavity" and they didn't seem to concerned?? Any info you can provide on this? After reading about your bleed this really concerns me? Dar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justme2007 Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Dar, fantastic news!! It gives me hope for my mom!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lc46 Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 (justme2007) Hi-yes please get your Mom to continue with her chemo & tell her these inspiring stories. There was a woman sitting next to us yesterday who is going on 2 years with small cell (and she still smokes). Just think what our Mom's would miss out on if they chose no treatment and could live another 2 years or more. Who knows what kind of new treatments could be found also. Take Care Dar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharonjo Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Dar, Terrific news! Hope this trend continues for mom. Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
