I got the results back from my CT last week and all is stable - yeah! Was hoping for improvement but this will do for now, hasn' t been that long since last scan but Dr wanted to add Avastin so wanted a baseline for that. Insurance finally approved it and I got the first dose today. I will get it every three weeks with the Taxotere and Carboplatin. Am getting the Zometa every six weeks so don't have to come in every four, can do it with the others - trying to keep it simple! If you can solve your problem, then what is the need of worrying? If you cannot solve it, then what is the use of worrying?

Great news to start the day! dx triple neg in 2005, mets to mediastinal nodes 12/07 , chemo Jan - April 08, remission 2/08; CT scan 4/08 showed one healing spine lesion, currently on chemo break, followup scans scheduled for late July; fingers crossed for no progression!
