THURSDAY...What a great day!! I was told today that the PET scan, CT scans and the MRI results show that the cancer is not in my organs and has not spread on the bone. The areas that do have cancer on them are growing and that is where my pain is coming from. There is no nerve impingement. This kind of cancer is treatable and will not take my life. What great news!!! I will have to have chemo shots of fazlodex once a month and zomada infusions once a month. The dose will be doubled. Every 3 months I will have the CT scans and PET scans done so that the doctor can watch the growth or shrinkage. I am coming to Chicago to have my chemo. This center is so amazing in every way. I just can't explain the loving care from all employees, nurses, doctors, even the cooks and janitors. The atmosphere is one I need to continue healing. If any of you have a loved one that has cancer please bring them here. There is treatment for all cancers and lives are saved everyday!!! I have seen it!! Tomorrow Robbin and I are going to Chicago via train to enjoy the city. We want to thank everyone for all the prayers and thank God for His work. We love the posts from everyone and I will continue to post news when I can. For now, I am taking a brake for a few days. We arrive back home saturday afternoon. Thanks to Patti for feeding our dogs and watching TV with grandma everynight. What a trooper!! See you all at home soon. August 28, 29, 30 is the 60 mile walk in Denver that we will be participating in. Someday there will be a cure for breast cancer!! Love to all and God Bless.
