Testing - Which and When?
Hello everyone,
I'm almost through with my 6 treatments of Taxotere. I still have my year of Herceptin to finish.
I was wondering what tests & scans you each used to follow up on the cancer and how often?
I think my doctor wants to do a cat scan every 3 months (and I forgot to ask starting when).
I want to be proactive about my care - so please share what worked best so I can study up!
PS. And if there are any other grounded pilots I'd love to hear from you.
thanks,
'lizbeth
