Update on me

For those that know me from other forums/threads, here's an update.

I finished chemo a month ago. I had a bone scan and it came up NED.
Soft tissue status is unknown at this time.
I start rads next week on breast and inner mammary lymph node hot spot (per pet/ct).
I start back on Herceptin in a couple weeks, and have worked out the finances of the treatment, thanks to a compassionate onc.
Things are looking up, and I feel like the gov gave me a reprieve.

Hey Brenda, congratulations on your good news - I'm glad things are looking up for you. Where in Illinois are you? I grew up in Arlington Heights and my sister and neice live in Glenview!
