I saw my onc this am and he pronounced me stable. My markers are virtually unchanged and he is satisfied, so I am too. Best news is that I don't have to see him for 3 months. :-)
That makes me a total of 3 years since metastasis and 25 years since original diagnosis.

    I like to read news like this one. Congrats Cynthia! I was thinking of you recently and wanted to ask you some questions, since I was dx at 32 and would like to enjoy many more years like you. I pray you continue on this path and enjoy many more.

    I posted a question for you, BTW. :)

    Congratulations. I have a question are you still on Faslodex shots? how long can someone stay on this medication?

    Treatment
    One stays on a drug, be it chemo or hormonal until it fails. Then one goes on to the next one.

    Do you agree CC as this was really address to you.

    This question wasn't
    This question wasn't addressed to me either...but it has been true for me that I stay on a drug (mine have all been chemos) until it stops working. Then we change and try another drug. In my case blood tests/tumor markers aren't reliable, so I get a CT scan every couple of months. If there is growth, we change drugs.

    I am still on faslodex and I
    I am still on faslodex and I believe I will stay on it until it either fails or I can't tolerate it. That is my understanding also.
