    Yay for all with good news! Diana, boo for the liver lesions. Still normal says a lot though. Musiclover, sounds like you are hanging out with Reggie (regression). He is a cool guy!

    Diana - Celebrating the good with you (yay kidneys!) and hoping your new treatment plan fixes the less good news (boo liver!). I agree that "super normal" bloodwork is great news and an indication that your liver is perfectly happy, despite the little fiends. Keep us updated on your next treatment plan

    I'm going in to Hopkins tomorrow for my scans(bone scan and cat scans) I have multiple bone mets and was diagnosed at stage 4 almost two years ago. I have been stable since diagnosis and know at some point that will change and have been fighting anxiety all weekend and trying to keep busy-thankfully my dr will email or call me as soon as he gets the results. Any positive thoughts,prayers virtual hugs all are excepted. Thanks for the support.

    Linda, MusicLover and redwolf,  thanks so much for your prayers and best wishes.

    Had CT scan this afternoon and seeing MO tomorrow...found a new lump on the scar line of the original lumpectomy so they're checking that nothing else has sprouted either...so over all of this!

    best wishes and hugs everyone! x

    After having 2 CT scans and a bone scan, today I am finally having a PET scan. We know I have a bone met in sternum. MO still trying to figure out pathology since biopsy showed different pathology from original DX. My question, do PET scans normally show more accurately where activity is? I'm scared to death they're going to tell me worse news after this PET scan. Thanks girls!

    Hi ladies,

    I am new to the site. Just had liver progression and put on taxol. My onc has scheduled a second liver biopsy for June 5th. It took me about a year to,agree to a second one- the first was a circus and I really was upset after. I am pretty stoic, but ugh! So now I have a month to fret about the impending date! Great!

    Diana50, it seems you had/have decent experiences with biopsies so I am going to hope mine will be uneventfulaswell....then the wait for the results- another topic another day! Lol

    I will be taking Ativan this time, I can assure you!

    Wishing the best to all,

    Maureen

    blondedorris. wishing you good news from your ct scan.

    Onc appt yesterday. Tumour markers still going up so I get to have another CT in 4-5 weeks. I just had one on the first of April.... (Lung had progressed a tiny bit last time- hope it's not getting worse)

    Congrats all of you getting good news & thinking of those who are waiting for results.

    Having a CTA tomorrow morning, Onco thinks the Faslodex is causing pulmonary embolisms (A rare (less than 1%), but serious side effect of fulvestrant is blood clots, including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolus.) Also having another bone scan on Thursday, because he thinks I might have progression also.

    *SIGH*

    Thank you everyone! I'm still stable and the biggest lesion has shrunk...the new lump on the scar apparently has always been there but not palpable until now, and the MO didn't mention it being there before; she said there were a lot of smaller lumps there but they're not the ones to be concerned about. No growth in the lung mets either and no new ones anywhere else. So hugely relieved and staying on xeloda and vinorelbine.

    Thoughts and hugs to everyone waiting x

    good news blondedoris!

    My CT-A is done, was told to go home and stay off my feet. He was trying really hard to not show anything in his face, so I couldn't read him.

    He said they will have the results to my onco by 10:30am (EST).

    Sitting here freaking out.

    PET/CT scan tomorrow afternoon. Feeling nervous. Need to sink into a big comfy sofa with a glass of red wine and some dark chocolate covered almonds.

    Not sure Modum if it was the pre scan prep but had the scan and results yesterday - and it was good.

    I have mets showing in chest lymph nodes but they are shrinking and showing less uptake. Nothing in brain (hurrah) and my one bone lesion also improving. My wonderful onc said it was a great scan and was v pleased. He's reducing drug dosage (which he hopes will mean drugs will work for longer). Only bad news was v low Hb/platelets count so I am sitting waiting for a blood transfusion.

    Wishing good results to others.
