I had a CT scan yesterday and my onc rang me tonight with results. There’s no change since my last scan in December which means that either the gemcarbo has kept the tumours in my chest wall etc stable or that my strangely behaving trip neg probably not basal cancer is continuing to behave joyously unpredictably…ie. better than expected.
I am taking a chemo break rather than go for what is probably my last standard chemo…weekly taxol…next appointment in a couple of months unless I experience other symptoms.
I am just over the moon. I feel weepingly privileged…still no major organ spread. am just savouring the moment. I was diagnosed in in Oct 2003 after misdiagnosis 7 months earlier…I had an awful prognosis. I was never expected to get this far and I have…I think I’ve been lucky…its certainly not been my attitude!
Jane that’s fantastic news. Savour this weepy moment! And enjoy your chemo break like nobody’s business.
Thank you for sharing your excellent news with us. It does us all so much good and I am so pleased for you.
Love Jacquie xx
Thats great Jane -really pleased for you
I also got good news this week -mammogram all clear and tumour on hip has shrunk. No other spread anywhere else. Dont have to go back to oncologist till September. Had a horrid summer last year as had chemo all through from May to Sept so looking forward to having a lovely relaxing summer spending time with hubby and my lovely son

I’m just so pleased for you, just brilliant news. So glad you are able to have a chemo break and hopefully have a great time during the summer. Let’s hope the English weather doesn’t let you down (but just jump on plane if it does).
