Re: Waiting on PET Scan results
Jessica - I am disappointed too for you. I was hoping for a complete response for you. Good news that the liver looks much better and maybe a repeat tx there will knock it all out. I'm sorry that the ixempra didn't do a better job on the other areas. I am glad you are able to to the 3 week herceptin -- it will be so good not to have to enter a dr office for a while. I am doing herceptin every 3 wks now & love not having to in weekly since I'm doing the xeloda/tykerb orally.
Do go to Hawaii, rest, relax, visit family & friends and rejuvenate -- you deserve the R&R more than anyone right now. Please don't dwell on the 'saying goodbye' thoughts. This isn't good-bye to anything ---- this is just a break to get you closer to t-dm1. August 3 is less than a month away!
Hold on to hope and have faith - things can and will improve. Pam
