Guest guest Posted February 10, 2006 Report Posted February 10, 2006 Hi , Just read your post from Wednesday and wanted to tell you that I'm so sorry your news wasn't all good. I am a bit concerned about some of the things you mentioned in your letter.... t found out yesterday and my onc. said the outlok isn't good. WHY WOULD YOUR ONC SAY THAT TO YOU? WHAT IS HE BASING THIS ON? LOT'S OF WOMEN ARE RESPONDING VERY WELL TO TREATMENTS FOR VERY AGGRESSIVE TYPE CANCERS, INCLUDING BREAST CANCER THAT HAS SPREAD TO OTHER ORGANS IN THE BODY. this type of chemo is my only chance. WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT THIS TYPE OF CHEMO IS YOUR ONLY CHANCE? THOSE OF US WHO ARE FAMILIAR WITH ADVANCED CANCERS KNOW THAT THERE ARE MANY, MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF CHEMOS AVAILABLE, AND THAT YOU HAVE A LONG ROAD AHEAD BEFORE YOU CAN SAY THIS IS THE LAST HOPE CHEMO. I believe in miracles ---ON THIS WE AGREE! ANNA, PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT IF YOU CAN AND MAYBE MIGHT WANT TO CONSIDER A SECOND OPINION - ONCE ALL THE TEST RESULTS ARE IN. HAVING FOUGHT A VERY AGGRESSIVE BC, MY ONCOLOGIST PLEDGED THAT WE WOULD FIGHT THIS BATTLE TOGETHER AND WE WOULD BE EVEN MORE AGGRESSIVE THAN MY CANCER. WE ALL NEED OUR DOCTORS TO FIGHT FOR US, AND NOT TO BE PESSIMISSTIC ABOUT OUR OUTCOMES. Sending prayers and good thoughts your way. Please forgive all the upper case - I forgot to switch back!
