Hi, Kim and Kath,
Wow Kim, your story is very similar to mine. Kath, just so you know, I am 8 years out with liver mets...that should encourage you a wee bit...smile. Kim, THANK you for stressing the importance of the tumor markers... I can not believe the LAG time in your case...it is reallly mal practice, but it goes on day after day. I hope newly diagnosed Helen will read your story as she has been denied any tumor marker blood tests from TWO supposed specialists in the San Fran area???? Where have these ONCS been...head in the sand trap on some golf course somewhere I guess...those who read me know I certainly have no love of them but view them as a necessary evil means to a heavenly end...Herceptin.
Kath, Herceptin alone (plus diet and a never give in attitude) got rid of more than 12 liver lesions that I had the sizes of nickles, quarters, dimes and 50 cent pieces...the whole horrid story is posted here somewhere.. I was interested in the part of Kim's story about going Herceptin alone as I did as well. It really does work, but you must inform yourself and read this site and LEARN everything you possibly can.
Best to you both,
Gina
