More good news
Sue's CT scan was clean, and the radiologist said that her bone scan was normal with nothing bad seen. Her MUGA is fine. Oncologist appt. on Tuesday, and maybe, just maybe, she'll get that damn drain out of her on Monday. She would feel worlds better with that gone.
Big...very big....YAY!

Great news! I'm sure that the tube will be taken out next week. Usually tubes are only left in about a week to ten days. As long as there is not a lot of drainage there should be no problem in removing it.

Dear Keven and Sue,
Best news today, Sue will be fine in no time! You know that they say Her2 was the worst type before but now because of Herceptin is the highly curable! Today I celebrate your good news!

From where you started, your outcome was the best to be had. If you wish, let us know what the onc says. I'm sure one of us will have an opinion. Enjoy the good news. BB

Kevin & Sue
It sure would be helpful if Sue's profile was at the end of your signature line. Just a thought so that we would all be able to see at a glance what here date of diagnosis, grade, stage, etc is.
