Re: almost 14 years NED breast cancer and apparently it's back in my lungs
Cathy,
This is good news, if we may call it that, but really in light of things it is positive overall. I will pray it has not spread to your bones, so that you may begin this new oral treatment. I am triple positive, so will follow your story with interest, especially regarding this new med. Your new Onc. seems straight forward which I think helps us to see through the fear. I am glad you had a good initial interaction with him.
Your signature does not indicate that you were ever brca tested, not even when you had the ovarian ca pop up. It sounds as thought they will be looking into that now among other things. Really, they seem to be aggressively positioning you to battle this beast again. My money is on you!
