More good news!!!!!

We got more good news from our Oncologist yesterday! After meeting with the transplant Doctor (Dr. Ueno----pronounced Way-No) he wanted to have my mri and cat scans that were inconclusive from 3 weeks ago reread. They had the best of the best Radiologist there look at them and compare and he said it is all activity from HEALING! YAAA! My oncologist has never seen a case of mixed resposne with chemo like this, where tumor markers are going down and tumor is decreasing (BY 94%!) but other areas showing no improvement. Now we know WHY! It's all just healing, but still showing up (or flaring) on mri and ct scans. I am so relieved!
I will have my last FAC chemo on February 24, then we will be reacanned on March 16 and I will start my first infusion fo Taxol (a taxane). I will have Taxol weekly for 12 weeks. I am going to check into having those done here (as scared as I am about that!). I just don't want to make weekly trips to Houston. To much for me!
I am expected to fly through the Taxol also, since my Dr. called me the "poster child for chemo!" I am glad I was able to tolorate it so well! I think it was because I KNEW I would!!! The mind is truly a powerful thing! That reminds me! A friend of mine (thanks Carrie!!) lent me a dvd called "The Secret". Very good show! It basically teaches you mind over matter---quantom physics. I have alway been a been a very driven person and ususlly get what I want. Now I understand why. Have that faith and belief that what you want, you can have!
Take care!!
