Good news!

[2Hopeful]

After 10 years of babysitting a small tumor in my brachial plexus area, I got the best news ever yesterday during my visit to M D Anderson. My MRI showed no tumor! I’m still in disbelief. I asked if this means I’m NED and they said yes. I never thought it would happen. I’ve been on Ibrance 100 and Letrozole for the last 4 1/2 years after some progression on tamoxifen. First diagnosed back in 2001 and had mastectomy, chemo, radiation and hormone therapy. Thought I was ok until 2015 when it came back. So will continue on my meds and be scanned again in 6 months. So there’s always hope!

Great News! Thanks for posting. I’m curious, have you always been with MD Anderson? I am considering a consult with them but it’s several states away for me. Just curious.

[2Hopeful in reply to Fight2016]

I’ve been with M D Anderson for 10 years. Started going there when I had my recurrence since I was told it was very unusual to have it come back in that area. I hoped at first that it could be removed surgically but after seeing about 6 of their specialists it was decided to be too risky since the tumor was in a bundle of nerves. So it’s been treated systemically instead. I’m about a 6 hour drive away but for me the trip is worth it. After initial visits I’ve only had to go twice a year. I also have a local oncologist.

Always encouraging to hear news like that. It's interesting to know that disease can continue to disappear at four years plus. I sure wish that this had been explained to me in the beginning of my treatment. After about 6 months my oncologist was "Well I was hoping for more.."

like there wasn't going to be any "more". No proof yet, but I believe my bones have continued to hear two years in. Scans in a few weeks.

[2Hopeful in reply to Suite1000]

I’ve just been hoping to be stable or even have my tumor a millimeter or 2 smaller. Did not even know there was any chance it would disappear. I’m still in a state of disbelief!

[Cocoacandy in reply to Suite1000]

What scans do you get and how often ?

[2Hopeful in reply to Cocoacandy]

I have MRI twice a year and PET once a year.
