Re: Is there benefit in surgery for stage iv's
Hello Ladies
Just letting you have an update.
We had quite a positive appointment with the doc today but unfortunately it is still a bit of a waiting game. 
Basically the plan of action is that Lorna is to have scans done so they can see where we are at with the primary tumour, this is to happen over the next 9 weeks and in the meantime they want Lorna to continue with Herceptin and Zometa every 3 weeks and get more of this treatment under her belt before surgery is considered to remove the primary tumour. At the end of the 9 weeks the team will then decide after looking at the scans if the tumour is small enough to remove, Lorna’s surgeon will apparently decide this.
It appears that they want to remove the tumour if it’s the right thing to do for Lorna but also the timing is quite crucial. Lorna is young, healthy and only has one area at the moment where the cancer has spread so in my mind it is the right thing to do.
In the meantime Lorna feels well and looks well so let’s hope this continues!
Love
Yvonne xx
