Re: My News

Full of Beans,

As always, I am so glad to hear from you. Please, tell me about the lung embolization and the laser treatment you are thinking about doing.

I go to the oncologist radiologist on August the 26th to see about having Cyberknife to the largest nodule in my lung. Do you know if you can Cyberknife more than one place in the lung?

Did you have a lymph node cyberknifed?

I am also taking Herceptin and Tykerb. The loading dose of Herceptin two weeks ago was rougher than my initial loading dose. I am hoping I have had some shrinkage. My HER2 ELISA test was at 51 when I had it taken four weeks ago. I hope it is coming down. Ironically, my estrogen level is only eight. I know there is an inverse relationship between the two. The lower my estrogen, it seems the higher my HER2 level goes.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Amelia
