Surgery yesterday
Hi- Yesterday I had an area removed under my arm that has been bothering me. It was on the same side as my left mast. back in 1999. The surgeon said he was able to remove 95% of it because if he went further, he might have severed a nerve and I wouldn't have been able to raise my arm again. I get my herceptin infusion this Thurs. My onc. retired in Dec. and he was always agressive with my treatments. This new guy is waiting until my next scan in about another month. In the meantime, I feel like I should go back on xeloda and not just the herceptin. The last scan showed other areas that could be trouble too- between my lungs, on my lung and adrenal gland. Do you think I should be on something besides the herceptin?This doctor is very open to our suggestions, but it's almost like he has to be guided. (I still have some xeloda and I was thinking of taking it.)
Changing doctors now would be too stressful and far away.
Thanks and God Bless You All! Cathy
