Hi! I have been on so many different boards for PPC on this site I have a hard time keeping track of them. So I never knew I had any responses. Since the initial message I have learned that the "hot spot" in Mom's chest had actually shrunk a bit. She has been on Tamoxofin since the end of the chemo and they feel that for now that seems to be doing a good job of keeping it in control. She is VERY happy to hold off on the chemo and is feeling good so I accept that and try not to question whats going on. She has an excellent medical team that she trusts very much to do the right thing for her. It's difficult because she is in Arizona and I'm in Texas with a job and 3 children...so I'm not there for appointments etc. so that I can ask my own questions. And Mom just wants to protect me..just like always. She feels after the last tests that she is looking at a few more years at least.. I hope so but am always waiting for the other shoe to drop. In the meantime I just keep loving her as much as I can and see her as often as possible. On another board there is a survivor of 4+ years....Bravo
