Help Suzanne Aucoin
Update April 18, 2006
Happy belated Easter to everyone! I had another week off of treatment last week and
was able to spend some time with my brothers and parents. It was good to take a
break from the hospital routine and appointments. I was surprised at the amount of
energy I had and lack of appetite. The lack of appetite is a good thing as I constantly
eat when on treatment.
Anyhow, I went to Roswell Park this morning for my second Erbitux treatment there.
It was a long morning but they are kind and efficient once the details are taken care
of. I also went to see Dr. Major at the Juravinski Cancer Centre. My CT scan results
showed minimal growth (2-4 mm) in all tumours. Basically, things are stable but I need
to keep a close eye on the activity. I will start researching options again so I can be
prepared.
If you receive the St. Catharines Standard or live in the area, there will be another
article by Peter Downs coming out this Thursday or Friday.
I am enjoying the sunshine and good weather. I hope we have a day like today for the
golf tournament on April 29th.
Take care
Suzanne
