I saw my oncologist today and he is letting me go 4 months instead of 3 months between visits. He is also only doing my labs every 4 months now. He is very pleased that my markers have been going down the last few visits. I know there is sad news here tonight and my heart is heavy, but I had to also share my hopeful news.

    Great news
    Since I'm in the first year, the visits are every 3 mos. I know you've dealt with schedules long before me, so good to hear you're getting a break! Your positive attitude and current bc info is encouraging. Thanks for sharing w/us. Hugs, Linda

    Happy For You!
    CC,

    I am very happy for you and that your markers are on a downward trend. Yahoo!

    I wonder if there is a person who comes on this discussion board and flags post just for a reaction. How can anyone object to good news. Everyone one needs a light in dark days and good news is always welcome.

    Wishing you always the best and 3 times a year is so much better 4. Decrease, decrease, I'm all for it!

    Best,

    Doris
