Re: Need Advice - Scanxiety

Hi DizzyDo,

Thank you! I'll cross my fingers for you, too! And all toes that are not subject to neuropathy - right foot only! ;-)

Hope for the best for both of us - I have a little one (5 1/2 years old) and feel horrible when I think of having to leave her soon. But then: don't we all, the age really is not that much of a factor...

Bone mets are apparently not easy to stage - in the staging after 3 rounds of chemo I was told by one doc that there was progress and to go on T-DM1. Turned out they used to different CTs ("angles", I mean) and interpreted sclerosis at the margins as progression. I got a second opinion and then eventually kept going with the chemo. I really hope I made the right decision...
