The second Pet Scan two months after I started chemo showed nothing in either my breast or my liver. The doctor did the second PET scan because he was having second thoughts about not doing the biopsy. In the first PET scan there were small bright spots throughout my liver and my breast was lit up like a light bulb. I had an MRI during the same time as the first PET and it didn't show anything on my liver either. I had a CT with and without contrast about 3 weeks ago and it showed nothing. There was also a bone scan that showed nothing. I am excited that nothing is showing up but I do wish there had been a biopsy at the beginning. It would have elimnated so much uncertainty. I have had 5 months of CTH at this point. Something has worked for me. I will be continuing the herceptin after the mastectomy for several more months. After that I just don't know.
