Yippee--i'm Ned!
I just back from my Oncologist and got the results from my 4 month PET/CT scan...NO EVIDENCE OF METASTATIC DISEASE!!! I am so happy! My lung mets are gone and no evidence of the liver mets. We now think that the small spots we thought might be liver mets were not mets at all, so even much the better! I was on Herceptin, Xeloda, and Taxotere and now I will just remain on Herceptin indefinately and start my radiation treatments next week! My Oncologist said he will get me on Tykerb as soon as he can for extra protection. It was my Oncologists 36th birthday today and I had to give him the bigggest birthday hug ever, I felt like it was me who was getting the present. He even wished me Happy Birthday! I have prayed so hard and so much that I feel my prayers have been answered. I pray to God that I never have to go through this again but it has made me a better person. I just celebrated with a big banana split and tonight I will have a cosomoplitan!!..sherryg683
