So, they decided to 'treat' my aunt with the drug called Herceptin, hoping to prolong her life as long as they could. They only do four treatments of it, and that's it. My aunt finished her fourth treatment last week, and then went in for an MRI to see if it had any effect in slowing down the cancer. Back when we found out that it had metasticized

Yay!

That is great news!

Let's hope that the extra treatments continue to work as well as the first four!

lol, oh, god, I know it's taken me forever to relply, and I'm sorry. I am seriously hoping the extra treatments help further. Any extra time is something to be thankful for..

Oh my God, that's amazing! O_O I had no idea there was a drug that could be that successful. I'm SO happy for you (and your aunt)! I'll keep praying for her. *^_____^*

And I've fallen behind on replying. Sorry!!

Yeah, it's called Herceptin and a lot of breat cancer patients are taking it after their chemotherapy, because it apparently reduces the chance of recurrance by a LOT. They decided to use it with my aunt because although it metasticized in her liver, it's actually breast cancer. They hoped it would slow the growth and prolong her life. well WOOO, they were right!

I really hope Ontario steps up to the plate and starts covering the treatment soon. A couple other provinces have but, as usual, we're probably going to be one of the last to pay for it with the health care..
