    The dance

    Enjoy thie dance, Great news.   Irenotecan and erbitux worked for George also he is stabLe now CEA 1.3 and still dropping. His scans are good for now. He is just on vectibix, however, this is giving him a horrible breakout and his fingers n toes r cracking.  He will go to once a month in May n a lower dose. Maybe by end of may he will get some peace.

    Hugs George & Dyan

    I've been wondering

    how you were doin'  That particular combo quit working for Robert; thus migrating over to the trial.  Whatcha' gonna do for five weeks with no chemo?  

    Dancin' this morning in my jammies and raising my coffee cup.  I am so happy for you. Enjoy your break, Winter.

    The next five weeks

    I plan on not thinking about my cancer, only have one doc's appt. which is in 3 weeks at surgeons for a final contrast scan (the reason I didn't get last surgery too much showed up).

    So will be spending time getting school work done, hoping to graduate ethics spring if I get statistics done in time!  So for me, school work school work, and more school work!

    The freedom of not having weekly chemo and bi-weekly doc visits just seems so wonderful to me right now!

    Thank you all for sharing in my happy dance and joy.

    hugs

    Don't know how I missed this...

    what great news!  I'm very happy for you, Winter.   You've been through an awful lot, and deserve a break.  And getting to have surgery is a BFD, huge step in the right direction.  Big hugs!  AA

    Wonderful!!!

    I am so happy to hear this, Winter Marie! I just had the feeling you would knock it back down again, and love that you have and that you are going to have surgery. This is such great news. Best wishes for you and enjoy your time off of chemo.
