Prayers requested
Just returned from Mayo today following my regular 6 month check-up. The CAT scan showed two new 4 mm spots on my right lung. One was in the plural cavity, one in the middle lobe. A PET scan is scheduled for this Friday. They drew blood for CA 15-33 today, so I do not have those results. My onc seemed very concerned.
I need input on treatments others have had. Have you gone back on Herceptin or had radiation treatments?
Thank you in advance for any helpful advice you may have for me. I have always drawn strength from this board.
Sandra
