cathyr Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 Hi everyone, Thank you so much for all your prayers and support. The CT-scan shows that everything is pretty much "stable." One tumor on my adrenal gland was slightly smaller and one in the bronchial area is slightly larger. No new tumors or nodules. I was hoping to take a couple months off of chemo since I've been doing this for 7 months - Jan 12 was the first chemo, but the doctor wants me to do 3 more rounds. He said I could do them 4 weeks apart rather than 3 as I've been doing. I'm doing Taxotere and aside from extreme fatique several days after chemo that last for 3-4 days, I have very few side effects. Anyway, I am happy with the news and hope like everyone here to stave off extreme illness until we find a cure! I love you all sooooo much.

ginnyde Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 Cathy, This is really good news. Does this mean the antiquing trip is still on? Or were you planning to be gone more than 4 weeks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimblanchard Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 Stable is good! Hopefully the Taxotere will knock it back big time. We are in the same place right now - back to chemo, Taxotere today. Good luck to both of us. Jim and Margaret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
