Fall 2009: Jake and Nancy learned that Nancy's breast cancer was stage four. Winter 2013: They are still fighting. This is a gathering place to follow their story, offer support, love and prayers... to be by their side.

Scan results - time to switch treatments again

Dear family and friends, Nancy here again.  I always feel a little funny writing posts on a blog about myself, but here goes...

My latest scan results are in and the cancer in my liver and bones is worse, so I'll be starting a new chemo this week.  The new chemo is called Halaven (aka eribulin) and word on the internet is it is not too awful in terms of side effects.  I have a brain scan this week to make sure the cyberknife was successful.  My memory is terrible, worse than usual, which is saying something for those that know me (!) and I'm having some pressure in my head, but no headaches, thank goodness.

THANK YOU for keeping up with all the ups and downs, everyone.   I'll post more when I get the results later this week.
