hi there ,  well started on the new anti dep and feel a litle better , managed to go into town and do some housework (a miracle as havnt  felt like doing in ages )

My onclogist  rang me at home last night and has ordered a new scan for 1 months time , due to raising tumour markers  since chemo ended .(thet had gone all the way down to 22 with andrioymicin then when it ended have started rising  a fair bit  . now 115) i have been so depressed  as we really thought  the chemo had  stabalised it  and my onc was expecting scar tissue .

The scans were good tho  as i got shrinkage to 5%  and bones doing well , but he said in the time  in between it could of become active again , seems so fast to me if this is the case .  i am on aromasin now as er pos and her2 neg . sorry if you have heard this before  , i  go on like  a brocken record sometimes .

hugs to all , Tracy xx

    Tracey,

    It's ok, vent away.  Don't feel bad if aromasin didn't help you, it did absolutely nothing for me except help my cancer to progress.  I am now on faslodex and having an excellent response.  Be happy your onc is staying on top of things for you and seems to be looking out for you well.

    So glad you are feeling better!  I have said a prayer that your scans will continue to show improvement. 

    I am happy your onc is being so proactive.  There are many more options out there - and they are less dibilitating than andrioymicin.  Hang in there, sweetie.  Hugs, Jacque

    Hi Tracy.. hang in there girl..I know what u mean by depression..I also feel that I need something to help me..I feel so flat at the moment...Its so hard the mental side of all this...

    I have had two more tumours found..one is new the other is old,,but...but my scan results were ok so who knows ...CT scan now says the L2 isnt cancer , but CT scan and Bone Scan said in May it was so who knows? I dont...still have the CA in R8 rib but not getting any bigger so I guess this results are great ..no other nasties in any organs still have the skin mets in breast , gee they are looking bigger to me! having tumour markers done on Friday..but I have been told they go up and down like a yo yo anything can set them off...

    I am doing Arimidex and Bonefos thats it so would like it to stay this way for ever ! I wish...

    Great that u have such a good Onc..

    Hugs
