I am doing biweekly chemo. Not so sure it’s working but will see with scans. I am feeling better. Some struggles Eno. We all want to be stable as long as possible. I had 5 good years. This has been a hard 9 months and I am not stable but hoping to get there albeit on chemo. Praying for the next great drug. Thanks for asking💕

I always look to you because you had lung involvement and that is what I started with. After a year and a half of Xeloda to stabilize things I was put on Ibrance and Letrozole in December

I should think with all their chemos they can find something which works for you. I pray that the scans will provide good news.

Aren't we the lucky ones :) ? We get to experience what its like having a mask fixed to our face/head.

I'm pleased you're doing well after the radiotherapy. So am I. We made it through and came out the other end :)

Those masks terrify me. Mine was fitted to the top of my shoulders and I had such claustrophobia they had to unfasten me from the table. I’m glad the radiation is working for you. 👏🏻👏🏻

MMMP,

I have never seen one of those. I am so happy it is working. You need a mannequin to put that mask on when you are done. Blessings, Hannah

I’m so glad you aren’t needing your pain medication. You have to have a good result after wearing that mask! I’ve not seen one before so thanks for the heads up in case I ever do! Elaine
