Not sure what to think of the info I got today

I have a lung nodule. My oncologist said "I've seen a million of these." Of course I was scared, but so far so good.

My 9th month of Herceptin, after my Muga scan, I walked into the doc's office ready for my infusion and he told me "No more Herceptin for you" My Muga showed a drop in my ejection rate, or whatever it is. Very upsetting, but I'm sure I got enough Herceptin to wipe out that da---d cancer. So far so good, and my heart is fine.

Anxiety causes numbness and tingling in hands and even face and shortness of breath -- I know! I use Xanax, but only when I need it.

Stay well, my dear sister. Treatment is no walk in the park!

I also have a lung nodule and an area of scarring from an pneumonia from years before BC. We are an unfortunate group that we know all the weird things in our bodies from tests and scans. The regular population has these things too but just don't know it because they haven't been poked, prodded and pinched like we have been.

I know you will still worry. I did too but believe it is nothing because it probably is.

Huge hugs from me to you.
