Stable scan results 3 years in

I realize it is important to share positive news so that we don’t only read discouraging news.

In that spirit, my December bone and Ct scans were stable. My tumor markers trickle up but my onc focuses on scan results. Like most of us, I deal with “scanxiety.”

Phew!

I’ve been on Ibrance & Letrozole since 8/18 after bone MBC diagnosis. Two prior breast cancer occurrences in 2004 and 2018.

Thank you for all your support during this roller coaster ride.

I want to especially acknowledge our “angels/spirit warriors” Barb, Nan & Josie. They were among the first strong voices of experience & compassion that I found here after I was diagnosed with MBC. Finding this board was a Godsend. You and your families remain in our hearts and prayers.

Blessings to all of us in 2022!

Congratulations to you for your stable scan. I am blessed to have 5 years of NEAD on letrozole and Ibrance. It is my first line of therapy. I was diagnosed in October 2016 with de novo Mets to liver. I pray that gives some of you wonderful sisters hope for a long ride on a CDK46 inhibitor plus an AI. I pray for all of us every day and for the scientists and doctors that are working hard to extend our lives. Happy New Year to all! You are in my thoughts. Kate from Alabama

Phew is right! I'm having my scan Monday. That ugly scanxiety is creeping in! Hate it. Trying to fight it off. So relieved for your results. Yay!

[cpidacks in reply to mariootsi]

Good luck on Monday. I have my MRI on Monday too. It will be 3 years for me since diagnosis of MBC in liver. I have been stable and hoping to continue.

Wonderful to hear your 3 year stable results. It gives us all hope and encouragement to hear good news.As you know, Josie was my bestie and I think of her every day. Her, Nancy and Babs were strong woman with big voices in this group and are missed dearly. Thanks for mentioning them. June and Ruth who we also lost last year are missed, especially their soh.

They will all be helping us continue this journey.
