Not the best news...

Mistie had a PET scan last week to see how her Faslodex shot was working. At first they compared it to the PET scan that she had back in April and they reported that the cancer sites had been reduced; however, the doctor then asked that it be compared to the CT scan that she had in September. This comparison showed that the cancer in the bones and lungs was stable, but that the cancer in her liver was again progressing. So, back to chemotherapy. We will start a new treatment on Monday (most likely Adderall) and will continue to use it until we need to jump to something else. He is also looking for some clinical trials that we could participate in possibly at MD Anderson or NIH. Today, we are at the hospital getting an MRI of her brain to see if it has remained stable or is progressing as well... The hospital is actually pretty quiet on Saturday.
