Re: Newbie to this HER2+
Wow!
Both the CAT Scan and the Bone Scan came back with NO CANCER!! And my heart is strong and ready for Herceptin!! Echocardiagram a success too!
Today I am VERY BLESSED. So, I'm a true Stage 2A, almost a Stage 1 and I'm happy to go ahead with my treatments as you are all giving me the strength to do so.
The port is annoying today, so time for a nap!
