TracyD Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Saw my doc. today, after six rounds of chemo he considers the results a "smashing success"!! I wish he could have told me the cancer was all gone, but that's not the case. Everything has shrunk significantly and no mets soooo I got my first treatment of just Avastin. Now we're just crossing fingers and toes that the Avastin will keep this thing away for a long, long time. Now we can kick back and enjoy the holidays. Alleluia, thank you God!!!

Littlegirl Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Tracy ~ Congrats on your smashing success and on your upcoming birthday. Wishing you health and happiness in your next 40 years. By the way, my mom has NSLC and although her tumor has not gone completely away her doctor thinks it is a 'dead' tumor. Maybe that is what is showing up on your scan too??? Enjoy your celebration!

recce101 Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Tracy: That's absolutely fantastic! I have a special reason for being happy -- your current program mirrors mine, and the CT scan after my third cycle showed improvement. Looking forward to joining you on the Avastin-only scene, maybe in late January. Let us know what side-effects remain once the Carboplatin and Taxol are out of the picture. And happy birthday, youngster! With much Aloha, Ned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope to see the same results for you! I also have a birthday coming up (the 21st), and 12/28 is the anniversary of my diagnosis so I am a soon to be one year survivor!
