Had my PET scan yesterday and just got the best call . I had no activity all my lesions are dead ( no active cells ) .My tumor in left breast is gone and the right is decreasing to less then 0.5 cm . So i guess im called "stable "
Just to know that i will have 3 month ( well more 2.5 ) of my so called normal life back . Thank you to all that replied and prayed for me .
Reading all you stories is giving me hope and strengths to look into some kind of future .

I started ibrance and letrozole in feb 2020 with 2 injection once a month . I feel pretty good other then horrible hot flashes which started to ease up a little . Pain in my feet is only bad in the morning and i tolerate that .
When i started this journey my onc was so positive and i had many doubts but so far he was right .
The only problem i have is that a lot of my family is trying to act like nothing is wrong . I guess because nothing has changed physically and i act the same does not mean that i feel the same on the inside . But everybody handles this in a different way .
Thats why I'm glad i found you guys because here I'm understood
My family also acts like nothing is wrong and I am grateful for that. I have a life with family that has nothing to do with cancer. Cancer is another subject that we discuss when I choose to. I was speaking to a friend recently and told him of my situation and he thanked me for telling him and told me that he was afraid to bring my health up. I am fine with that because I have a life that is not always about cancer. It is only about my health when I choose it to be. I am determined to continue to have a wonderful life and to try to "get over it". Does this speak to you or am I missing the point?
I totally agree with you . I don't tell a lot of people about my illness do to me not being treated any differently . I really don't give cancer a chance to run my life 90% at the time but my problem is that sometimes i need a hug but i know that my family are not mind readers and I'm trying to figure out how to make them realize that I'm not strong ALL the time .
I think that's the problem . I am a very strong person and people are used to that and done realize that even strong people have a breaking point and need some TLC sometimes . I will work thru this and figure out on how to get used to this new world of mine .
Now I understand fully. I am also very independent but every so often, I really want to be coddled. However, the family does not know if and when any of these times occur. So, I just have to get on with it and that's fine. I really appreciate their complete confidence in me and I am probably the oldest living thing in our group.
I am giving you an air hug and I hope you feel it and I hope it makes you smile and feel better..
Yes I just received and enjoyed your hug . I’m so glad I found you guys because I feel understood and I belong Here . Wish we could all meet for coffee 😘
That would be great. A coffee meeting. I think this is an amazing group of ladies. Not likely that it will happen as we live to far apart. Nice thought though.
I think that we often meet for coffee and we don't know it. My good friend who lives in South Carolina often joins me for a telephone coffeeklach. I look in on this most every morning at about 6:30 - 7am, my time, whilst drinking my coffee. How about letting people know what time you are drinking coffee or tea and chatting to this group. Is there anyone who would like to have coffee or tea with me tomorrow morning?
Yes, I live in New Jersey. Surprise Surprise! This was our holiday home and now I live in it full time. I lived and worked in Southwest Scotland with my wonderful husband, Duncan, for many years. He was Scottish and did not wish to live here full time. When asked where I considered to be my home, I always replied that I was a world citizen and that home was where the heart is. Nowadays, it is no longer possible to be a world citizen and m heart is with Duncan. He was home.
Ah, OK! I see. I spent years travelling and living abroad, but I am settled back home in the UK now. The only jet setting I’ll be doing is just to go on holiday, but that’s all on hold until after this pandemic.
Where in the UK do you live? I won't be able to read your answer for a week because I am shutting down, pulling the plug and waiting for my friend to arrive so we can leave for the shore. It is nice to share connections and to know the back stories of the members of our community. I would really like to know of your travels.
I’m from Suffolk, living back in my hometown in fact. I moved away in 2002 when I got married and moved back in 2012. I’d like to think this is my last move. It’s hard to make plans with this disease hanging over me. But my husband would like to live out more in the country, as our town is becoming more densely populated. Anytime you want to chat about my travels let me know. I spent seven of those years in America (North Carolina and California) and the other three living in the nearby county of Norfolk.
Yes, the party for me is emanating from my tiny little study and, yes, I am drinking my morning coffee. Tomorrow, if I ever get packed, it will be gin and tonic on the beach.
Is that gin, and tonic on a real beach, or the virtual beach the gin, and tonic will help you imagine . Either way enjoy, and shake your groove thing, but don't hurt yourself
That is wonderful news Anita and it gives us all hope. I guess you will continue to get scans every three months. I suppose it is important to keep watching at least for some time. I can well imagine how happy you must be right now. I have scans coming up and always feel anxious but I feel good and I think that they will show me some good news - maybe not as good as your news - but at least I don't think I am getting worse. All the best for a happy stress free three months. Hugs Marlene
