PARP trial - 8 week update
Well girls, PET/CT scans came back CLEAN. Supraclavicle node is too small to detect with PET/CT and the small spot in breast is GONE.
Physical exam shows node in neck to be about 4mm which may be all scar tissue.
Yipee! Plan is to stay on TBFW for 6 more months and then see what happens.
So far it appears to be a promising new tx for the BRCA + set.
HUGS!
