Re: Not sure what to think of the info I got today
I have a lung nodule. My oncologist said "I've seen a million of these." Of course I was scared, but so far so good.
My 9th month of Herceptin, after my Muga scan, I walked into the doc's office ready for my infusion and he told me "No more Herceptin for you" My Muga showed a drop in my ejection rate, or whatever it is. Very upsetting, but I'm sure I got enough Herceptin to wipe out that da---d cancer. So far so good, and my heart is fine.
Anxiety causes numbness and tingling in hands and even face and shortness of breath -- I know! I use Xanax, but only when I need it.
Stay well, my dear sister. Treatment is no walk in the park!
