Well, J and I got back from an amazingly restful and fun vacation in Colorado on Saturday. We had Sunday to "recover" from our vaca and today I was back in the infusion room. Talk about jumping back into reality! ;)
So down to business... Even though we are still waiting on one final aspect of the biopsy results... what we do know is GREAT NEWS! We know that the lesions on my liver that were not responding to my treatment are NOT cancerous!! Whew!! Yes, talk about a HUGE relief!! We also know that the lesions on my liver that are responding to the treatment are still HER 2 Positive (for those of you who follow the specifics and details of my diagnosis). Now the "aspect" of the biopsy results that we are still waiting on, called "Target Now," will end up taking another week or 2 to officially come in. It's a test that is relatively new (being used w/in the last year) and actually targets the areas to specifically determine what treatment is most effective. So when these results come in, Dr. H will have an even better idea on whether or not to increase or decrease my oral drugs and/or IV drugs. My next appointment w/ Dr. H is scheduled for August 17th. So until then I'll try to post some pics from my vaca in CO. I also have some new CfR pictures that I've recently received (Woohoo, thanks for taking the CfR Challenge) AND since my birthday is coming up, hopefully I'll have some fun bday pics to post as well! ;)
Thanks again for your support! I couldn't kick this cancer's ass w/out you!!!
Yay Casey! Glad you had fun but more glad, and thankful, that you got a good report. Will keep praying for even better news with the next set of results. Live life to the fullest and savor every moment.....great motto for all of us and you are a good example to follow. love you sweet girl
