I had a pet scan done recently.. My Dr. said and I quote" can see no evidence of cancer". I just looked at my chest with the inflammatory breasts, almost covering my entire chest.. It is red, angry looking .. Has been that way for months.. Have had radiation treatments, been on tykerb, and xeloda for SEVERAL months with no sign of progress of slowing this mess down. in the beginning I had a different type of breast cancer.
I guess this type of cancer doesnt show up on pet scans. This is my 3 or 4 times with this beast, can't really tell as it springs up around every 18 months.. Sorry , I am depressing myself.
by the way, I am hoping my husband gets a set of lungs. I was able to talk to him for about 30 seconds, before he got tired.
Take care , all of ya'll..
