Significant Improvement in Metastatic Disease !

I got the results of my first Follow-up (comparison) PET scan. We waited 5 months to give it time. It’s mostly all good. Heck, great ! I get to continue on the Ibrance and Letrozole prescription and treat this like just a chronic disease. ( for now)

On a more somber note, my mom passed away two weeks ago. She was the original fighter in the family. She had breast cancer twice, bladder cancer and was on dialysis for seven years. She lived to the age of 83 and still gives me inspiration.

Great news on the scan results but not in regards to your mom 😢. So sorry to hear this, condolences to you and your family.

If we can all take a page from her book and have her fighting spirit we’ll all be here for a while.

I lost my mom in October ‘18 so I can understand how you feel but the news about your scan is wonderful. I think Ibrance and Letrozole are a ticket to a longer life for us.

I am so glad to hear the news about your health but so sad to hear that you lost your mother at this critical time in your life but she has left you a great legacy of being a fighter and showing you how precious life is. I pray that God will keep both of you in the palm of his hand.
