Hi everyone. Thanks for keeping me in your thoughts. I did not have the CMF as planned. My CA 153 markers went sky high very quickly & my oncologist was worried that CMF was too slow to work. So he is giving me some more Adriamycin. I had 6 cycles of that last year & there is only so much of it they can give as it is highly toxic to the heart muscle & this will be my lot of that drug but it does work quickly & will give him time to reconsider what we try next. We have both promised each other not to give up on me. As a have had Adriamycin before I am OK with the side effects. I know how to cope with them & it's not too bad second time around. It's the Taxotere I found so hard. I have my #2 cycle on Thursday & am hoping the blood tests show better results this time around.

Love & hugs to all from a very spring like New Zealand.

Pam

    Pam,

    So good to hear from you and to hear you are not giving up. Just keep kicking butt girl! You know you are in my prayers daily. You are an inspiration to me. Thank you for being my friend and enjoy as much as that spring weather as you can. I know you are glad to see winter behind you. Spring is a time for renewal - for you and the world around you. How is your husband holding up? He is on this roller coaster ride with you. Hang onto each other.

    God Bless,
    Kathy
