Thanks for your messages - some directly. Bone scan shows all possible bones involved - it just marches on oblivious to zometa and herceptin.
Had x-rays to see how bad the lytic lesions are (those are the holey bone thinning kind) which have moved to the pelvis and hips.
Lungs are a little better - liver's worst spot is better - smaller sports are worse!!!

I am not an easy patient - will continue on navelbine which I got today and herceptin and zometa every three weeks and procrit weekly.

The pain in my chest was correct with my first thought - the sternum is also involved - not angina.

What a rocky road - thanks for your prayers - I know there were some.

    Thank you so much for sharing your results from scans. You are in my prayers. I'm so impressed with how you keep up what appears to me to be such a good attitude with so much bad news. I'm so scared of the next test results. How do you keep your spirits up? Sandi

    You know you got the power of prayer on your side. Praise the Lord no transfusion, and at least the worst liver spot is smaller, and the lungs look better! Something's working.
    How about Iressa? Have you asked your doc about adding it on? Not a chemo drug, it shuts down blood supply to tumor cells. Just a thought.
    Hang tough girl.

    Hi Jean:

    Great news that you don't need the transfusion and I think it's very encouraging that the spot on your liver has decreased in size and that your lungs are improving! This indicates that something positive is happening.

    As most of us know, you're a strong and decisive woman, with so much courage. You truly amaze all of us and I feel so fortunate to know someone with such incredible qualities. We're all in there, pitching for and with you.

    Warm hugs coming at you.

    Love, light and laughter,
