Maria: Wonderful news! I know you run, but every time you say you are running a marathon, I’m so impressed!! I can’t imagine running around the block, and I am “healthy”!! At least on the outside…
Percy: from your lips!! I hope we can have “uncancerlike” discussions soon. Wouldn’t that be great?
I figure the longer I stay alive the better my chances of having those discussions…September 8, 2012 at 7:18 pm #64231lainySpectatorPercy, just imagine being able to come on this Board and just talk about anything but CC! Then we can really have our Convention! My peeps have a saying. “From our mouths to Gods ears!”.

Lainy, 3-5 years is the time frame we should know by then whether all those talks about personalized genomics research on all types of cancer will turn out as they hope to be.As Ed Kennedy said” the hope is here and the dream will never die.”
God bless.September 8, 2012 at 6:55 pm #64229lainySpectatorPercy, I would like to give a BIG AMEN to that last statement!
September 8, 2012 at 6:45 pm #64228pcl1029MemberHi,
One thing for sure, Maria, you are much tougher than me both mentally and physically.
the only thing I can say to you is that hopefully the cure can be here soon enough for all the patients on this board which including you and me; to relieve our suffering both mentally and physically and start a new life and put this cancer to rest.
God bless.September 8, 2012 at 6:31 pm #64227gavinModeratorGreat news Maria!!! And like you, I am very happy seeing you post in this section too!! Somehow I don’t think your doctor will be able to say no to you about the marathon!!!
Hugs,
Gavin

Finally met my doc yesterday to get the results from my MRI done almost two weeks ago.
After 6 rounds of GemCis there was shrinkage, my big tumor had gone from 4,7 cm to 4,1 cm.
He told me he never saw someone like me as he’d been so sure this time there would be no shrinkage, but growth. This because of the growth after the embolization I did in April.
This proves my theories works though… After this last embo I was in such a pain and with high fever for a week, my liverenzyms were high as well. As I’m quite experienced with embos (my 6th) and never was this sick, I was so sure the chemo didn’t stay in the tumor but damaged the healthy livertissue. They used smaller beads this time.Both me and the doctor are quite sure though the shrinkage isn’t only due to the GemCis but also the way I live and all the other things I do.
I can’t express how happy and grateful I am!!! It would have been so strange with growing tumors when I feel this well!
So now this mini-vacation from chemo is over and I will give it another chance!Love and hope to EVERYBODY
Ps I told my doctor I think he and I should run Stockholm marathon next June, and he simply did a high five He IS a runner, but never did a marathon. NOTHING is going to stop me from that!!!!!!!
