15 March - Taxotere Works!

We got the MRI results today and it showed a 30% reduction in Sarah's liver mets. We were sooo relieved! Finally we've got a drug treatment that is helping dial the clock back on this thing. Sarah is taking a one week break from treatment this week as she lets her nose heal up and liver recover a bit (she's been having minor nose bleeds due to the Taxotere) and then she'll continue the weekly Taxotere treatments until the liver spots are gone. That could take a while, but now things are moving in the right direction. She'll also get a brain MRI and a heart scan next week just to make sure everything else is ok, but there is no reason to suspect that those scans will find any issue at this point. Cancer is so unpredictable... but today we are claiming a victory and are happy that we've found something to fight back with!
