December 24th Update

Merry Christmas Eve!!!!   Nancy had her review last Friday.  This was really a monitoring visit checking on how Nancy is doing with the new meds.  Overall, Nancy has been tired and had some back pain.  This is good for the first couple of weeks.  On January 3rd, Nancy will have a more complete blood work checking on her tumor markers.  She will also have Zometa.  Her first scan will be around the first of Feb...and then we should have a much better idea on what is going on with the cancer.

We are thankful for the season and the wonderful support and blessings you all have been.  Merry Christmas from the Curry's!

December 9th update

Nancy started the new medicines today.  She has one in the am, the other at dinner.  It is good to be treating the cancer again  We will keep you posted as to side effects and how she does with the new meds.  Thanks to all for wonderful support!

December 5th update

Nancy had her Dr appointment today.  She will be on AFINITOR and Aromasin which can also be called Exemestane.  She will take both daily.  This will start tomorrow or Friday depending on UPS.  The cancer was active in the bones and the liver, but nowhere else.  They also did an additional MRI of the brain and that was all good.  This combination of drugs is new and the side effects will be monitored closely.  Nancy will have full labs and Doctor appointments every two weeks.  She will also be interviewed by phone by the AFINITOR folks every 10 days.  Full head-to-toe scans will be every 2 months.  We hope the drugs will be effective and the side effects minimal. I will try to keep this updated.  Thanks to all, BC
