Cycle TWO Week Three Thursday 16 February 2012
NOT HAPPENING.
It is obvious that the drug is not touching the tumor, at least not enough to be palpated.
So we have a new drug to try Lab work continues to be good.
Cycle ONE Week ONE Thursday 16 February 2012
Saw Dr R today and the news really wasn’t very good. He asked as usual how or IF I thought the drug was working. I said well IF it’s working it’s very slow and maybe slight changes in the tumor. He agreed with me that the tumor was NOT shrinking as we had hoped. So we have decided to change to drug #6 this one is suppose to “works by decreasing the amount of estrogen the body makes. This can slow or stop the growth of many types of breast cancer cells that need estrogen to grow.” It also could be a slower acting one. The good news is that it’s another “pill” form so I don’t have to go in for treatment. I still have to go in monthly and have my “port” flushed.
So there you have it

{Jann - what a bummer that #5 didn't live up to expectations but #6 sounds promising and hopefully with fewer side effects for you and Keep-Her both!
Lots of hugs for both of you from
