Scan clear
Hi everyone
I had a abdo CT scan yesterday...3 months since I have been on herceptin alone. And it was (still) clear. I previously had a 15 mm liver spot dx in Sept 06 which responded rapidly to taxol and herceptin (NED after 9 weeks).

Great news Jackie. I am going to be taking my first scan at the end of June, I was NED as of April 1. I am very nervous about it. Glad to hear the Herceptin is keeping it away for you, hoping I get the same results..sherryg683

That is GREAT news Jackie. Big congratulations. I know this is the kinds of things I just LOVE to hear. Way to go! I have my first PET/CT scan coming up next week. Nerve racking to wait. But such a relief when you get GOOD NEWS like you did. I sure hope mine is good? Keep up the good work.
