HER2 Support Group Forums - View Single Post - Update on latest scan results

It was so great seeing you too Courtney! Sorry I missed the meeting Tuesday. Ryan started school on Wednesday, so I had to get home from my Melisko appointment early. My next scan is November 2nd, so hopefully we can meet up again then. She pushed me off to 10 weeks from 8, so it will be a while before my scans line up with susan's again.
