Test Results and visit to Doc today
Saw my oncologist today and got my test results. From PET/CT - NED!!! I do have scar tissue but that is normal with the masectomy he said. My MUGGA was 51. I am a little concerned. it was 62 last time. The doc said we need to watch the mugga, he said I have to have herceptin and he may have to send me to a cardiologist for meds so that i can continue herceptin until June. He said with the nodes i had involved, it is very important I continue herceptin. My husband is concerned about cardiac arrest! So I had herceptin today and will have another treatment in 3 weeks then have another MUGGA before i see doc again. he also said if i can get the herceptin in for one full year, then i will be the same as a person that was not Her 2. kind of confused me on that but i was concerned about the drop on the mugga i didnt ask questions on that note. Anyone else had anything like this?
