Well, I had a bone scan yesterday to see if there has been any new activity since I started Chemo in March. My Onc called

late this afternoon and said the scan was STABLE...Stable is

good !! Everytime I have had a scan the always found new

tumors so stable this is good. Also, My last markers were 294

and the ones they ran on Monday are down to around 201..!

SO I guess all this misery is doing some good.

The plan is next Thursday I will start weekly Taxotere. We

are hoping that doing it weekly will not be so hard on me &

that I dont end up in the hospital or ER....

Thanks for being with me yesterday...you all really make

laugh..The pink boas and Mukaluks and slickers were

great.... tongue

Love and Hugs

Cathi

Oh, Cathi!  I hope you can imagine how happy you have made all of us!!

This has been such an emotional week for me.  You have just ended my week on a high note.  Now my tears are tears of joy!

Prayers will continue for the weekly treatment.  May it work and be tolerable.

Love and Hugs to my stable friend,

Becky

So glad you got some good news, Cathi! Stable is good. Hope the new treatment is more tolerable for you. Sending relieved hugs from Indiana, Lauri

That is wonderful news.  Good luck with the Taxotere.  I was on it and it wasn't too bad.  The first treatment caused no side effects for me.
