Thank you to all who offered encouragement and prayers while I was awaiting test results. I have no evidence of spread to bones or organs, and the tumor discovered in the lymph node is shrinking after being on Armidex less than a month. Doctor expects it will continue to shrink and may then have radiation to try to eliminate it. I am feeling very hopeful.

    Betty, so glad to hear that your scans look clear. My bone mets are being treated with taxol every three weeks along with a bone strengthening agent every third week. I did not get in the clinical trial, but still have hope. I don't know how many treatments I'll have. Guess it will depend on what bone scans show every three months. Good luck!
