Steph,
I see my oncologist on Thursday and I will then get the full report on my scan. My personal opinion is that it is something to do with my heart. When I was on Heceptin before I started to have some heart related issues - drop in LVEF, heart enlargement, etc. I'm not going to spend my time worry about it and will just try and be patient until Thursday morning. That's also when I find out if my little "chemo holiday" will be over. I've been off the Taxol/Carboplatin since Thanksgiving when I had the pneumonia. I'll keep you posted.
