Happy almost-egg-day to all my egg-cellent friends!
Jean, the best information that I could find indicated good accuracy on the # of CTCs. I think it's the "what does it mean for me" part that has so many differences. I took it to get some peace of mind or to get back on herceptin if necessary. The more CTCs the more likely a sooner progression, I believe. Would be helpful on the "hit um with all ya got" or "minimum is better" question! I guess I'll soon find out!
Shobha, I take articles to my onc to read when I see him. He's been my onc for 3 years, but he's always been open to listening to my opinion....that's the reason I'm still there! He was willing to fight with me for that extra 9 - 10 months of herceptin. I will be forever grateful to my friend who got me to Dr. K.
