Great Results!!!

We just got back from my appointment with Dr. Gupta. The PET Scan showed that all of my tumors have shrunk considerably. We are so excited!!

Dr. Gupta said he wanted to give my body a break from the chemo for awhile. I will start taking a pill daily called Aromasin. It is some type of estrogen blocker. It is a cousin to one of the meds I took previously, but different enough that my body should respond to it. I am also trying a new medicine for my bones (I can't remember the name and didn't write it down). Anyway, it will take the place of the Zometa infusion. It is a shot I will get once a month. It is supposed to be less harmful to my kidneys than the other drug.

I am scheduled for an ultrasound on April 9th. I will see Dr. Gupta on April 10th for the results.

We are so thankful for this good news. Thank you for all of your prayers and support.
