A better prognosis
After my wife's 6th herceptin on 20th July the Onc ordered a PET/&.CT which was done the 31st July and we got the report yesterday The Onc said his earlier prognosis of 1-2 yrs will now be 2-3 years.The concluding part of the report says "skletal lesions show sclerosis in the present scan which were lytic in the previous scan indicating active healing"
The Onc told me that he is satisfied and that after the 9th herceptin he will swirch over to tykerb
I have got Quillin's book after eading about that here and I am changing her diet regime and hoping fpr the best and I wanted to share thr news with all of you
