Well Ladies -

I went in for a follow up after being on TBFW for 3 weeks. Now my onc seems to think the supraclavicle node is smaller...last week I thought it was a little smaller but he said it was the same. Anyways...the spot in the left breast area we still can't feel although before I began TBFW he thought he felt an area that was a little different. Now he can't even find that! So I have scans scheduled in 5 weeks to see everything from that angle. So all in all I take it as good news!

Hugs,
Leea
