Thank you Sandy for your encouragement. It's a frustrating situation as I believe that "only time will tell" as I had many scans and a marker done. Unfortuneately waiting is not my srong point (as I think that it is with most of us!).

Becky, I thought that it was interessting that you made note of that with the Herceptin. My hip started to hurt with the first 3 week dose and hasn't let up since (sometimes I find it hard to even walk). The spot on my ribs did not hurt when I had the scans done, but after reflecting yesterday (all day :-) ), I realized that the pain began after my 3 week dose on Thursday. VEERRY INTERESTING. I am so grateful to be able to receive Herceptin and will deal with whatever it brings, as long as we know the cancer issue has been ruled out. ( I can handle the pain, just worry what the pain might be).

Anyways, I am going try try and think positive and wait until my next OV in two weeks and make a plan to investigate further. Nice thought- easier said than done. I almost had tood take a "happy pill" (from my old surgery meds) on this one. :-)

Thank you,
Love, Kelly
