Having a scan? Waiting on results? The waiting room is open!

Hello to everyone, I got my results today and it was good news. CT scan showed no lung or organ involvement and bone mets are healing and appear to be inactive, tm's down to 13 from 137. I'm so relieved and so tired from stressing over this.

Andrea and 208sandy, praying for good results and sending all my positive thoughts your way.

terri,  yay to stable! Doing a happy dance for you!

Aoibheann, holding your hand while you wait and praying for good results. Good thing you're on top of things and spoke up so that you had all the proper scanning done. 

Kt1966, hoping your scan showed the taxol is working. Prayers and all the positive mojo I can muster being sent to you.

MusicLover, praying your pet scan shows really good results, sending positive thoughts and energy your way.

Hello Divine and RonnieKay! 

Hugs to all, Annie

Gives me tears, Annie!  So good to hear such great news & TM's really took a hike!  Deep breath & exhale...long & slow...feels so good!   

Sending hopeful thoughts & prayers to all!!!   XOXOXOXO

Annie and Terri ,
Great news as they say is always welcome;

Music lover, I love your username, music is important to me as well, Kt1966, Aoibheann and Andrea, finger crossed , well I could include toes but can't cross them for good results.

My assessment was generally good, however, the scan show some progression in the pleura, otherwise, no organ or bone involvement. My onc uses 3 tm, ca125 which is normal (16), CEA which is dropping significantly for high of 27.5 to 14.7 but my Ca15-3 is still high, so combined with the scan, I'm not considered stable at present. I still feel fine and am preparing for a lengthy trip out of the country. My onc informed me I will need to have blood tests every 2 weeks, .....now I'm looking up medical clinics, not my favorite place to hang out unless they were in a bookstore or Starbucks, but it will get done.

I hope I didn't miss anyone, everyone's kind words are inspiring to me.

Thanks, Stefanie!

I swear I used to tolerate the barium like a champ, but the last few scans my stomach has not done well with it. Still, I guess it's better than not knowing what's going on.

Max...does this mean you're looking up medical clinics abroad?  We will take no organ or bone involvement as great news...and wait (maybe impatiently) for pleura to improve!  Wishing you happy, safe travels :-)

So had my onc appointment today and of course the dreaded Faslodex shots and I am stable!!! There had been some activity in both my lungs which is why the onc called for the scan but my TMs are down to normal and lung activity has been stopped in its tracks - she said the Faslodex is working well and so no onc appointment for two months and no scan for four months, just the shots and bloodwork every month for now - I am so relieved.

And that's a 2-thumbs up for you, Ms 208!  So happy faslodex is doing it's job...just wish it wasn't a bugger!  

Still waiting for others' reports.  Oh Max...5 weeks abroad sounds wonderful...good luck w/planning!

Sandy! Yay!! So happy for you.

And Annie… wonderful news, and a Happy Birthday present too:)

Max, those are positive results… take 'em and run! Have a good trip.

Rosestoeses… all positive thoughts coming your way for your scan results!

And Carla… here's to good news for you too… visualize, visualize, visualize...

Thinking of everyone...

Thanks for all the good thoughts! Scan results were mostly good. A little growth in my liver, but my onc feels since it's small and I've been on and off of Ibrance trying to get my white blood cells where they need to be, it's worth giving it a little longer now that the cells are where they need to be.

Better news? We'll recheck in 6 weeks with ultrasound so no barium

Have a great trip, Kathy! And Sandy, congratulations on great new!

Carla, good luck, wishing you easy procedures and great results!

Roses - hopeful that Ibrance will "wipe out" that little bugger hanging on to your liver - good thoughts coming your way. S.

Sandy and Annie, great news! Kathy and Roses, positive news to hear that scans were mostly good, and hope you enjoy your trip, Kathy.

Kt1966, Andrea, Musiclover, CarlaK and everyone else holding hands and crossing fingers and toes and wishing for the best. I'm still waiting to hear my results and getting increasingly anxious as the hosp reg was supposed to contact me on Thurs. and my calls are not being returned. Of course I think it must be bad news and they're waiting for my onc to ring me. Eating xanax... hate this...

Roses....that pesky little liver bugger won't know what hit him...go ibrance go! Glad counts are where they need to be!  

Aoibheann....choosing to believe good news is waiting!    Hang tight, kt...hoping for all good news & I agree on the heart rate...I have the same se, but I just had to get a bit of help...seems even good news made my heart want to pop outta my chest!   Hope for all!

jennylee - good to see your news - and new treatment plan sounds like a winner too, especially the part about the rads and pain relief - hope you're having a nice, relaxing weekend. S.

Great news Jenny.

I got my results back today - seems the taxol is working as the lung nodules are slightly smaller and the bone mets are more sclerotic. Still have a small pleural effusion and nodular pleural enhancement, but otherwise good.

I'm glad that I can stay on taxol & not go thru treatments too quickly

Thanks for waiting with me...

Just heard that my scans show no change since last time, phew! what a relief.

Jenny, kt1966 - great news that tx is working!

Musiclover and everyone else, still holding your hands, wishing you good news, hate that you are waiting.

Hugs and thanks
