So Sorry to Hear about your mom

 

In reviewing these great messages of support to Jan, I read yours and am sorry to see you have to see your mom through a recurrence.  May I ask where it has recurred in her bones?  (Usually, I thought, MMMT recurs more often in the lungs, pelvis, even liver).Should I assume she had the usual six rounds of carbo/tascol and some pelvic radiation?

 

If you could email me here on the Boards, woujld appreciate it.

 

In the meantime, keep us posted on how she's doing.

 

Love,

Rosey

My mom had 4 rounds of Carboplatine/Endoxan without any radiation, around 4 months ago she hit her head and a small a bump appeared in the back of her head, we didn't take it seriously because she appeared directly after she hit her head, after 2 months of this accident we had a whole body PET scan and the results were NED! and we asked the doctor about this bump that its been two months and it is still appearing and he told us that he is not worried about it especially that the PET scan is NED although it appeared in the skull pictures. After the PET scan we started noticing that its getting bigger so we did a head  MRI and the results were shocking that it is most probably bone metastases (in the skull). She will have a biopsy operation next week but the symptoms are getting more and more serious day after day for example today for 10 minutes she wasn't able to  move her fingers and couldn't hold anything we contacted the Dr and he told us to take her to emergency if other symptoms appeared again before the biopsy operation. Its really a big mass now and we are really afraid and can't wait to do the biopsy...
