I am thirteen months out of having chemo for early HER2+ BC. So far, no signs of it coming back. My oncologist has agreed to herceptin, which is not that easy to get in the UK for stage II breast cancer (even if you pay for it yourself) but wanted to run some tests first. The CT scan results last month showed no signs of cancer in the likely places, but there was something, probably a cyst, in my pancreas that he was going to monitor.

I had not heard from him for a few weeks, when I got a call from his secretary that I am to have an ultrasound on my kidneys on Thursday. I doublechecked with her that it was my kidneys and not my pancreas. This has me concerned because my oncologist is not the kind to run lots of tests. I was wondering if anyone knew of a reason why someone getting herceptin would need a kidney ultrasound.
