August 15th update

Nancy had her appointment last Friday. Her CA-2729 numbers have trended upwards for the last three checks. The results from the most recent appointment will be known in about a week. If that trend continues, they will have Nancy take another PET scan. We should know this week or next week at the latest. Happy Birthday Mike Curry today!

August 10th Update

Nancy just finished three weeks of vacation, both on Whidbey Island and back in Wisconsin with her family. She got home last night. The whole Gajafsky clan were together for her Dad's birthday August 2nd. She still has some headaches and occasional pain....but overall, she had a wonderful three weeks. Friday is another infusion and Doctor visit. Hope you are all having a great summer!

July 12th Update

Nancy had her appointment with Dr Anthony today. It was agreed that she would continue with Zomeda on a monthly basis (sometimes after 2 years, they go to quarterly). Also, she will try the new generic Femara. She has had physical therapy 2-3 times per week, and exercises every day for her left arm. On a positive note, Nancy rode her bike around the neighborhood....first time in two years. Summer is here in Spokane! Thanks to all for your support!!!

June 21st update

Nancy returned to Zomeda for treatment last week. The effects after the infusion were normal.... feels like the right med for Nancy to take. Today she begins therapy on her left arm. They are trying to schedule her for two visits per week.
Also, today we will have real summer weather in Spokane... 80 degrees (hooray).
Thank you all for your support of Nancy!

June 14th update

Nancy has another appointment with Dr Anthony today. The two main topics will be: should Nancy still get Xgiva or should she go back to Zomeda, and what we can do to improve her left arm pain? The first is important as this is one of two major meds that Nancy takes. We will keep you posted on this in about a week. Hope you are all enjoying summer, we are still waiting in Spokane for summer to start (chuckle)

May 25th update

Nancy did not get to see her Mom in Greem Bay for Mother's Day. Early morning May
8th I had a heart attack....so she spent Mom's Day at Holy Family hospital. They put a stent in, and a full recovery is anticipated. We did have both boys (and one
grandson) as visitors. Grama was busy with Deacon!
Nancy had her regular appointment last week. She has been unusually tired for the last two weeks. Next scheduled appt is June 14th. She will get to see the grandkids (and Todd, Ally and Mike) next weekend.

The cards, letters, calls and emails continue to bless Nancy, thank you all, BC

May 2nd update....good news!

Nancy had her appointment last Friday. Following are taken from the scan findings:

"Sites of osseous metastatic disease within the chest, abdomen, and pelvis appear to be less intense than on previous examination. This is particularly notable at T11 with improvement seen at the levels of T7 and T8. Uptake at L3 in the lumbar spine is also significantly improved. Pelvic lesions are also less intense. Lesion in the posterior column of the left acetabulum is also less intense. No new lesions are identified."

This report shows not only stability but improvement! No new cancer findings, and the existing is less intense in some areas.

Nancy's knee is still an issue, and she will soon be scheduled for that.

Thank you for all your support, we will try to keep you informed.
