TODAY TRULY IS THE FIRST DAY OF THE REST OF MY LIFE !!!!!!!!!!!!

Well after waiting 16 days for the results (oh the misery of not knowing), I got the call today. And GREAT NEWS!! I AM BENEFITING FROM AMGEN'S DENOSUMAB INJECTIONS!!!! I was told today that my largest tumor in my right lung which did measure in at 7.6cm in December 2008, now measures at 6.8cm. The largest in my left lung was something like 6.4cm and is now under 6cm. I also have several tumors measuring less than 1.0cm and it appears all tumors have had some response to the treatment with some of the smallest becoming non existent.
THANK GOD FOR THIS BLESSING AND THANKS TO AMGEN AND WASHINTON CANCER CENTER AND THE BLESSED PEOPLE WHO WORK THERE TAKING CARE OF ME.

Wow, James! I know my comment is very late, but I'm SO glad to hear of this progress. My daughter, Marjie, has had continued success with Denosumab. Her tumors are shrinking more slowly now, but they're continuing to shrink! This coming January (2010) she will celebrate two years on this treatment. Still with NO symptoms and NO side effects! Think we're thankful? We have done a LOT of praying, and for YOU, too! Take care and God bless you!
