Trial Drugs are Working!

Hi all! Just wanted to give you the news that this stuff is doing it's job!

I have been on the Tykerb/Xeloda trial for 6 weeks.

Just got back from Oncologist's:

Brain mets* which really responded to the Whole Brain Radiation I got BEFORE starting trial, are continuing to shrink.

My lung mets which became active again last summer are completely stable.

Bones mets really haven't changed at all for awhile....they attribute that to Zometa, a drug I take for bone health.

BTW, I have no symptoms from any of the mets....

So there you go! More bullets for the gun.

I am looking at my calender for the next month and it's practically FREE of appointments! WOO-HOO!!!!...We've been going to MD Anderson at least 3 times a week since October.

* Mets=Metastasis=tumors (although I have many....they are very small)
