Re: Prayers requested
Sandra,
Gosh I don't have scans or blood tests since I was stage II. Did you have any symptoms. If not that is very scary. I worry about not feeling the cancer growing, not having anyway to detect it, and ending up stage IV.
We are pretty close in history, but different in treatments. I had skin involvement with the Pagets. I had 3/15 nodes. I only did Taxotere, Herceptin and the GP2 vaccine.
Ugh, this is the tough part and I feel so close to you - its almost like having a recurrence myself.
It looks like we are praying for a lot of Christmas miracles.
I am so glad the Mayo Clinic is looking after you. Are the scans in follow up for a clinical trial, or is it the standard of care?
Look kiddo, I'm counting on you to be around for a long, long time!
I looked for the genetics post, but haven't found it yet. I hope our fellow board member will repost. The more ideas, the better.
Sending even more love (and freaking out a little)
Your buddy, 'lizbeth
