sharonjo Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Hi all, I got a call from my onc today with my latest CT scan results. They showed progression in both my lung and liver, so I am going to stop my current therapy and gear up for something else. I don't know what the game plan will be yet as I just had chemo on Monday, so I need to wait 3 weeks for my counts to come back up before I can start anything else. So I get a few weeks off. I appreciate all your prayers and good thoughts. I'll keep you posted. Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

recce101 Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Sharon, I'm very sorry about the progression. But as I understand it, just about any treatment can stop working after a while if the cancer is able to mutate sufficiently. If I'm reading your profile correctly, you had a successful 8 months with Avastin alone, which I think is pretty good, then less success with Alimta and Cetuximab. I'm sure Avastin will stop working for me too at some point, and then my onc and I will have to look for something else as you're doing now. Wishing you the best!!
