Okay - Saw the doctor yesterday. She still did not say 100% these were lung mets (however, the report did say suspicious for metastatic disease). They are too tiny to even be seen on a PET. She is keeping me on the Navelbine and hopefully adding back the Herceptin after my MUGA next week. My tumor markers have dropped from 35 to 23 (not sure whether to have much faith in tumor markers). I know they are tiny, but in my heart and mind I feel like they weigh as much as a softball.

If I can continue on the Herceptin, I am supposed to start a trial study at UNC Chapel Hill for the bc injections. It some sort of stem cell research and it takes your own white blood cells, boosts them up to super fighting white blood cells and then gives them back to you. You have to be on Navelbine and Herceptin, however, for this study.

You women are such an inspiration.

Off the subject of cancer, how can I get my picture under my name and how can I get my bio under my signature?
