Good news today...

I saw the onc today. His opinion is that the cancer is responding very well to the chemo. The obvious 4mm lymph node is now fairly hard to find. The redness (from the IBC) is more intense in color, but doesn't cover such a large surface area. And much of the swelling (from lymph fluids not circulating properly) is gone.

It was especially nice to get this news today with treatment number 3 tomorrow!

    That is great news!!! That's how mine responded also and by the 4Th chemo the Dr could no longer find the tumor at all. And it was pretty big, about the size of a egg. Good luck with the rest of your treatment hope it keeps going this well all the way through. Take care Kay.

    Great News
    My second A/C did not seem to have done much with shrinking as it wasn't much, if any, smaller or defined than after the 1st dose. Dr. T went ahead with the 3rd dose but said that if it didn't do more than the 2nd - we'd have to change the drugs after that. H
    e was happy with the results though before the 4th dose so went ahead with it and then 2 weeks later surgery which did get good margins.

    I never had any redness - just a lot of swelling (doubled size), 'organge peel' and majorly inverted nipple. We're all so different!

    Way to go!
