9th Scan Results and Update - 5/15/26

Sharing the results of my latest scan.

I'm happy to report that it's great news! Things are stable, and I'm feeling grateful.

Scans showed healing, decreasing tumors and stable spots. The clinical trial I'm on is controlling the cancer and healing is happening.

We're not at a point yet where I'm No Evidence of Disease, but we're pretty darn close and stable is just as good as that. In fact, the oncologist had a hard time seeing the tiny tumors remaining. My oncologist said NED is 110% response and usually only said for those who have early stage cancer that can be cured. However he did say we're at a point that's the best case scenario in my situation, and for that I'm grateful. In my head though, I'm like we're NEAD, or at least close to it.

We did see some inflammation in my lungs, but we'll just monitor that over time, and nothing to worry about unless I start having symptoms. Also my liver enzymes were only slightly elevated but they look good enough to continue at the reduced dose. Thankful that my body is tolerating this treatment well and my diarrhea has been under control.

I'm remembering when I was first diagnosed back in August 2024, I had tumors everywhere and a prognosis of median 5 years left to live. Over 21 tumors in my bones and my liver was fully covered. To be where I'm at now is a miracle and a blessing that I don't take for granted.

I'm so incredibly thankful to be on life saving medication. This clinical trial of a newer drug Zanidatamab and Xeloda chemo pill is my third line of treatment, and so far it's doing wonders on me. I would not be where I'm at without the research and work to get drugs available for those that need it, even though we need more of it.

As I sit here in the infusion chair for my 5th set of treatment, I'm feeling like I have more time. More time to love, more joy, more moments that matter and an opportunity to live life to the fullest.

I appreciate all the love, prayers and support as I continue on this journey. Feeling the love from near and far.

Onward we continue getting treatment every three weeks and sans every six weeks.

I know I got this.

Love, Stacy
