Dont get down on yourseslf thinking that you may or may not have done something right. About 3 years agao I was stage IIb ER/PR negative HER 2 positive... I did a mastectomy, Adriamiacyn, cytoxen, and 5 -fu. I then had taxotere and 33 radiation treatments. last month I found a lump on the side that I had the mastectomy on. I sent in for surgery and the biopsy came back cancer. I am shocked, I didnt everything right...
Everything happens for a reason and Im not sure what the reason is yet... but I am getting ready to start more checmo, some special radiation and had a pet scan to check for mets. I will get the results Tuesday when I go to get my precise plan. I had my port put in Friday so I am ready to go!! hit me with your best shots!!!!!!!!!! Drrrrrrrrrrrr....lol...ever heard that song, hit me with your best shot? well that is what those DRs are going to do and with my faith and knowing the wonderful things God can do. We will beat this! MY "BigC"()Jesus Christ is gonna kick the "little cs"(cancer) but!
I have many questions about the side effects that anyone has had with herceptin... Please email me and tell me about them. jkmellem@aol,com
One more thing... has anyone a normal ca153 when they knew in fact that their cancer was back... mine was 12 and the cancer is definately back.. I guess the PET scan will show how advanced and I will know that on tuesday
