Hi - it was my liver that had over 10 tumor lesions ranging from 6 - 8 cent. - they are seen as scar
tissue (small) on pet, w/no activity. It's been 9
months NED, with tumor markers cea at 0.
That is why my dr considers me a miracle - but, I still
will thank the Lord - it's all in his hands. I did not have
any positive lymph nodes, and my lumpectomy was
DCIS stage 0 in breast. When the Dr. in the ER found
liver on ct scan, they were in shock. This was not
what anyone was expecting. I was told we caught this as early precancer stage in the breast that does not
spread, what a shocker to all - here involved in the
medical team. I started chemo - tax, carb, herc., on Nov 1 08, ended on 2/11/09 - 6 rounds, herceptin indefinite.
Now, I fly to Seattle 1 a mon. for a vaccine w/Dr. Salazar, next mon. last vaccine.
Just thur. took the new her2serum tumor marker, i will get results on thur. - pretty nervous.
My liver enzymes are 15 ast, 15 alt - normal.
They were all high before finding in the liver.
I feel fine - just scared, depressed at times, people say I should be thankful - I am. My scan is now every 4-5 mon. - blood work all normal.
