Re: One year Stage IV - triumph and trepidation?
Well, the news is good! Scan showed stable sclerotic bone lesions and the liver mets are "barely detectable" and "probably inactive". So I think this is as good as it gets and I stay on the Herceptin, Tamoxifen and Denosumab for another 3 months. Yay again!
HOWEVER the scan also showed enlargement of the uterus, so now I have to make a gyny appointment. What would life be without something to worry about?!!?!
Best wishes to all...... Pam
