Go to the Onc. Tomorrow for Falsodex shots & CT Scan Results. Praying for good results. Scananxiety! I have been on Ibrance since July 2018 & Falsodex since May 2018'. So far scans have been stable. TM's 17. Still always have the fear of the unknown.
Prayers & Good thoughts needed.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Kelly. Prayers and positive thoughts going out to you. We have exactly the same timeline. Diagnosed with MBC in March 2018, Faslodex started May 2018 and Ibrance started July 2018. But my mets is to the lungs, mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes. TMs see sawing between 30s to 50s, now at 44. Hoping for a return to the 20sπ.
TM is an abbreviation of tumour markers. It's a regular blood test done to measure activity of cancer in your body.
Not all oncologists take much notice of TM's as they say they can be unreliable indicators. But in a lot of cases they can give good insight into progression or remission.
Thank you! Yes, I can breath easier now. My nurse was holding the report & I just wanted to say - give it to me already!!! I patiently waited on my onc. To come in & give me the news. π΅
