What a nasty, viscious disease bc is. :grr: Why do BC patients get ill when leukaemia patients don't I wonder?
I hope the new drugs slow down the progression. Thinking of you :hugs:

It's great to have an update Tracey, I wish it was better news for you. I'm sorry to hear about the tumour breaking through the skin, I imagine that would cause a lot of discomfort quite apart from the other progression.

I hope the Afinitor and aromasin treat you kindly and work well. :hugs:

Tracey,
Wishing you all the very best with your new meds. I hope you get some relief. You've certainly had a lot to deal with and deserve some success in the trials. As always, a real trooper.

Well my run with the trial drug Abt199 has come to an end as the tumour on my chest has increased by 30% and now broken through the skin. I also have a few more bone mets and my pleural effusion has increased slightly. I was on 600 mg daily and the trial has now been opened up at a higher dose. To be honest I don't think I could have tolerated a higher dose. It is interesting that the leukaemia patients don't seem to have the vomiting that the breast cancer patients are experiencing.
I started on Afinitor and aromasin on Friday so far I feel fine.

you certainly deserve a big dose of good news Tracey. Feeling sick constantly is a huge burden to fight so having respite from that in itself must be such a relief. Having family close and the children too is a bonus and I hope you can enjoy everyday with them.

That's such good news. So pleased the treatment is effective. I've read about your journey with bc and find your no nonsense attitude inspiring. Whilst I'm sure you have down moments you have a great ability to pick yourself up, dust yourself off and keep on fighting. Glad you're having fun with your grandbubs.
Hugs, Mo xxx

Tracey, thanks so much for the update. I hope so very much that the tumours continue to shrink and that the side effects subside.

It's wonderful your Son and Grandbabies are with you. :hugs:

Ditto to what Judy said. So pleased the treatment appears to be working but sorry you have to suffer the dude effects. It's great that your son has leave that enable you to spend time with him and your grand babies. That must be great therapy for you too :hugs:
