I saw my oncologist today b/c my lower back has been hurting for about 3 weeks, and became unbearable over the weekend. We are going to move up my PET/CT scan and hopefully I can get in this week. My onc doesn't really know what to expect b/c my last PET/CT three months ago showed NED in my spine and hip bone mets, and he is surprised the tykerb/xeloda wouldn't be working to cause such pain. I can always hope that it is something else! If it is the cancer acting up, I'll stop the t/x and go back to herceptin and another chemo drug.
I have to say that the worst part of this is that I can't drive on my son's field trip this week and can't participate in other events....but that just means I have to find other ways to connect :-).
So we will see. I am discouraged, but trying to keep my spirits up.
