I feel your anxiety...same date of diag. as you, stage 3, NED since before mastectomy in Feb, still on herceptin, but asked my doctor for a tumor marker as I had a good friend in similar situation get liver mets, and the marker came back slightly elevated, so now I am on pins and needles (more like knives and daggers !!) awaiting results of scans.....terrifying....dont know who to tell and who to spare, as I have a large family/friend support, and my poor 70 year old mom who I know is having the hardest time of all, but pretends to be stalwart...
sort of regreting that I even asked for the test...didnt really know what the protocol is for follow ups, I figured if I didnt ask for it they may have waited until Jan when I finish with the year of herceptin...I am especially discouraged as I was told by so many others that herceptin is this miracle, when , in actuality, its just 50-50.....I guess every onc. has their differing opinions about doing blood tests and in what time frames....
