Newly diagnosed mets to spine
I just finished my 8th weekly taxol/herceptin treatment and my BS ordered a ct scan before my planned surgery. It showed multiple sclerotic areas in the thoracic and lumbar spine. I had a new bone scan and MRI on thursday and it confirmed mets to spine, it showed partial response to chemo. I am terrified! I had a bone scan on 12/10/10 prior to starting chemo on 12/28/10. I don't understand why this wasn't on the prior scan. Is the cancer spreading even on chemo? I am so scared... I have three young children and don't know how long I have to live.
