    What a wonderful post, Helen! I’d argue for a scan, as Gavin said. But, all in all, celebrate!

    How absolutely wonderful for your Mom! Your story is really inspiring.
    You said it has been three years, and she is feeling wonderful. Is she still receiving chemo treatments, and if so, how often and how well does she tolerate them? I just started Gemcitabine only once a week a three week course, and am feeling really tired. Don’t know if I want to continue after the first 3 weeks.

    Mary,
    Your post was so helpful to me. My only treatment for the advanced CC right now would be gemsitabine alone because the Doc thought the Gem/cis would be too strong, as your note seems to verify. Also, I decided against going to Florida for a while, and your experience told me I made a wise choice.
    You have had a rough time, but I appreciate your sharing your life with us. People say to never give up hope, and I agree! Praying for you.

    Good advice about seeking a second or third opinion. There are excellent hospitals here who specialize in treating CC. You are doing the right thing!
    Best wishes and prayers.
