The Original Intent Of This Blog

April 2006 - It seems vain to create a blog about me however, I realize that it is the most efficient way to provide accurate information about the status of my treatment and recovery so here I go .....

May 2009 - The cancer has returned, here I go again ...

December 2009 - I've finished chemo and am cancer free; I continue to receive Herceptin and the trial drug.

Round Two: Infusion #10

Woohoo the test results were good again and I get to stop chemotherapy! Now I go on a maintenance program which for me is the two biologic drugs every three weeks. Tumor marker tests will be run every three weeks and I will have a CT scan, EKG and Echo every nine weeks.

I was told that my progress has been remarkable and that comparing the scans from last week with the scans from April and May are like looking at the scans from two different people.


Our prayers have been answered, God has abundantly blessed me with everything needed to take down cancer once again. And once again, I am richer because of the experience.

What a LONG HAUL!!!!!!!!!!!!! (and I don't care that I used too many exclamation points!!!!!!!)

All of the weeds are gone (cancer) and now I just need the weed killer (biologic drugs) to keep the weeds from coming back ... that and lots of prayer.

Thanks for checking in on me and for your support throughout this whole process. I recently read an interesting article about biologic drugs, I will write a post about it in a few days.
