Here's a long overdue post! Work and travel have been heavier recently. We had a great Easter here at home. The kids loved the things the Easter bunny brought - Ben is big in-to stuffed animals these days (he is holding Oinky and Spot...) As you can see in this pic, it took Sam a bit to warm up to the Easter egg hunt but he caught on after a few eggs. (hey, there's candy in these!).We got the results on Sarah's hormone levels: her prolactin levels are elevated, but not so high that immediate response is needed. This is actually relatively good news, because it supports the current assumption that her pituitary macro-adenoma (ie growth) is made up of pituitary cells rather than breast cancer cells. BC cells would not be secreting prolactin. So, we're going to monitor this adenoma with periodic MRIs to make sure it's not growing for now.
Sarah is continuing with the Taxotere treatment & we'll be getting another MRI done in 3 weeks to get a look at her liver mets. She's taking a week off of Taxotere this week in order to let her body recover a bit. The break is well-timed since we are also traveling to New Orleans this weekend to attend an engagement party for Thomas and Kerry. My parents will be here in Chicago with the kids while we are away.
