Back in remission, 8 years on, 4 recurrences.

[Meryl1]

Hi, just wanted to share a small hoorah with you all, as I finished my last chemo 10 days ago (weekly taxol) and my oncologist confirmed my scans are clear and my CA125 is back to normal. And with the Paxman cold cap my hair was not only saved, it grew! I was diagnosed 3c 8 years ago at 45. I was also diagnosed last month with BRCA1 which ironically opens up new future treatments, Parp inhibitors, tho I have an 85% chance of developing BC before I'm 70, so I'm now on an accelerated screening programme. Anyway I'm planning a holiday to Iceland around Easter - the dog sledding looks so decadent! My lovely husband is looking worried........ Hugs to you all, what a great source of support you are, Meryl xx
