Re: Blood clot from Herceptin?????
Elizabeth,
Glad to hear you are doing so well and my goodness, it would be a godsend to me to get my port out.
I do not have any suspicous cancer anywhere else. I had lung liesons, but I believe they are scar tissue from my asthma and are so small they quit doing the CT Chest. In March, I will have another CT abdomen for the liver liesons.
I hear that the Warfarin had to be closely regulated by blood tests and have a friend who couldn't wait to get off of it.
I have never heard of Folfox therapy. Are you er+or pr+ and Her2+? Sending my best healing energy to you and keep us posted.
Bless you,
Lettik
