Out friend Mike who set up this blog calls this a journey. He is correct. We had two meetings yesterday as well as Nancy's infusion/treatment. The news is good. The most recent BONE/PET scans shwo no new cancer areas; the Doctor said it is stabilized. The blood tests show the cancer markers are down. The burns from radiation are healing. So it appears the treatments of the last 14 months have been effective. The cancer is not gone but, for now, looks to be under control.
Nancy will continue the Femara (daily pill for estrogen inhibitor) and Zometa (monthly for bone builder upper). Both have side effects of some joint paint...Nancy has some new supplemental meds to try to make her more comfortable.
Thank you all for wonderful support.
