Scans at Diagnosis

Hi:

On my first visit and before Chemo my oncoligist order MRI's of the chest, abdomen and pelvis, a bone scan and a muga scan. The muga scan was to see if I would tolerate A/C as I was almost 59 at the time of my diagnosis. I had repeat scans to follow up on what was thought were two liver cysts and spots in my lung which were determnined to be mucus plugs which I get from Herceptin. I also had a PET scan at the time my liver enzymes and CA 27-29 went up. It was later determined that the Nuelasta caused the spike in these lab results.
