Happy New Year everyone,
I wanted to let everyone know that I have the results of my 3 months tests and scans. Without boring you with details what it boils down to is, the results are mixed. The tumors have not grown in size, good news. But all of the hormone markers are elevated. Some are down from the original tests in May but they are still all above normal. Dr. Burzynski has requested that I come back to Houston and they will add two medications to the Peptides I am already taking. One of the meds is an anti rejection drug used in transplant patients. An immunosuppressant drug. The other is a med used in liver and renal cancer patients. I find those and interesting combination of drugs and I promise not to bore you with the details. I won't know until next week whether the drugs will be administered orally or IV. Regardless we will head back down to TX and we suspect we will be there about 4 days again. We won't know that for sure until I start the drugs and they watch for side effects. I am hoping for about 4 days. It may just be wishful thinking but 4 sounds good don't you think?
The last three months haven't been particularly easy from a side effect stand point but a few weeks ago the depression started to lift for some unknown reason and my thinking seems more clear. I am grateful for the change as it makes life much easier. My spirit has returned and that makes me happy!
It was a year ago on Tues. that I was first diagnosed with Breast Cancer. I won't regurgitate the happenings of the year because in this house 2009 just plain sucked. The entire flipping year. Enough said! I do have several things on the wish list for this year with the first being a boob job. Burzynski doesn't want me having it during treatment (understandable) so I have to wait until I am done in Houston. It's high on the list!!!! I also want to have loads and loads and loads of fun. I want to enjoy this year by laughing a lot and doing fun things. I am hoping you can all come out and play with me and my fantastic family. It just HAS to be fun.
The Ibach's hope to see all of you this year. It was hard to stay in touch and the side effects make emailing hard for me. I am hoping the website can be updated regularly so that you are all kept informed.
My love,
Mary
