Re: PET/CT results good! next step?

Nancy - what kind of negative reactions did you have from the tykerb?

I saw the onc. today. He thought I looked worse than when I saw him 2 wks ago. At that time I had no swelling in my arms - all that was evident then was my face. He doesn't think there's a blood clot, but wants me to have a chest CT to rule it out. Otherwise I'm continuing to hold all meds for 2 more weeks then see him again.

In the meantime, I'm trying to be patient but it's not easy!
