Out Early on Good Behavior

We had a CT scan on Tuesday and discussed it with the doctor today. We scanned her abdomen and chest and looked at the cancer in her liver, bones and lungs. They compared this test with the last CT scan in May.

The envelope please...

And the winner is...

All of the cancer sites improved or stayed the same. Although not all the cancer shrunk it is not uncommon to get a great response at first and then reach a static level. The fact that it has not increased during this period is good and gives us an opportunity to try a hormone inhibitor (faslodex). The hope is that the inhibitor will keep the cancer at bay for as long as possible and then we can try another treatment.

Faslodex has a 'loading' period where she will get a shot next wednesday and then 2 weeks later. Beyond that she will get a shot every 4 weeks. How great is that!

Round 1, the TKO goes to Mistie and we will take advantage of some time off to get back up to fighting weight.

Will the Faslodex work?

How will Mistie's brain scan turn out?

Will she finally get her vision back???

Stayed tuned and don't touch that dial...
