I have just had results of some tests & they are not too good.
My CA15-3 marker numbers are rising rapidly again & I have had to have new x-rays on shoulder, chest, ribs, pelvis & left femur which all show signs of renewed activity again after having only just finished my last chemo. The pain is horrendous. I had an infusion of Aredia on Thursday for bone pain but it hasn't helped yet & I am on increasing amounts of slow release morphine.
I start a new chemo on Thursday 13th December. This time it will be Taxotere (related to Taxol)& I will lose all my hair again & it had just started to grow again. Bummer!!!!

Well ladies pray for me & help me to fight still (again) so that I can beat this disease yet. If Rosa (Tiger ) can keep on fighting I am sure I can too. She would kill me if I gave up.
My love to you all.

Pam

    Hi Pam,

    I will defintiely add you to my prayer list. You keep on fighting, because you are an inspiration to us all. As one who has gone through recurrence, you give me strength. I have not had to battle as you. Tamoxifen is working wonderfully for me. My CA 25 and CA 27 keeps coming down. Praise the Lord. Keep smiling and we will all be holding your hand through this.

    God Bless,
    Kathy

    It wouldnt just be Tiger, Pam. there'd be an armada on its way! My condolebnces about your hair...that really is a bummer. Mine came back curly! and I quit smoking 12 days ago, so I am pretty chuffed with myself. Keep up the fight Pam. Really rooting for you here in Canada...Love Susan
