Well - just got back from onc for my 1 wk follow up since beginning new tx. Lump in neck may be a tad bit smaller, but it is definately not bigger. Also the spot in the leftover breast tissue is still too small to find by physical exam. So no major side effects (a few headaches and a few hot flashes which may or may not be related to TBFW) and good labs. So far so good!
