Julie,
My first order of recurrance was in my mediastinal nodes. Being 2 and a half yrs from dx, my new onc asked if I wanted to have it biopsied. Asked me. When I said yes, he said "you;ll have a scar." Isn't that cute?? As if.....
It was extremely close to my heart, being the aortic window node that was big enough to get a decent sample from. But still to close ie: dangerous, for total removal.
Still enough for all the stats and I'm glad for that. Didn't know I was Her2+++ for example.
Anywho, to attend to your question more indepth: The combo of Navelbine/Herceptin cleared all up within 12 wks. I then stopped the treatment. Just kept watch and focused on my brain mets.
Very best wishes to you,
pattyz
