I met my new Oncologist last week, and although he did not know of anyone doing the CTC he said I could have it done ,... so our lab looked it up and ordered the kit (a purple and pink topped vial.)
I am now 4 months off Herceptin
We Just did the CT/Pet scan the CTC and the ALYSA. Last week.
I received my results today.....
CT/PET clean, CTC 0%, AND ALYSA down from 9.5 to 7. So I am still Dancing with NED! We will continue with both blood tests every 6 weeks and every 3 months CT/PET. He also felt I should not go off Aromasin.. My Dr is from Canada and said there they use these drugs more to control cancer and here we use more chemo... So he feels it is best I stay on the Aromasin. So far all is well and I like my new Onc. He listens, and he is willing to try new things. (since I go in prepared with all sorts of information) we had a very good talk about where to go from here and we seem to be on the same wave length.. THANK YOU GOD! Hugs and I will keep you posted
