in Breast Cancer #1
I've had 6 Taxols. I have BC that metasized all over....I have refused to hear my 27.29 numbers since they rose into the 200's. Well today I found out that since the taxol my numbers are going down!! I was 678 (YIKES) the beginning of June and now I am 321!! Today was also the first time in over a month that I did NOT need blood!!!! So I am feeling good for today, something is working and eating up that darn cancer. I am so happy to feel good about something for a change...let's keep it up!!! :)

    Love the good news!
    One good thing about a onco who doesn't use markers is it is one less thing for me to wig over. But love that your numbers are dropping, blood looks good, what we all pray for.

    Enjoy the rest of your week!

    I do need glasses
    Taxotere affected my vision, oh well. The most important is the progress, significant reduction from 6 weeks ago.
