Re: Update on Barb

Phil

Yes blood work was done before treatment but there wasnt a scan done immediately before, there comparing to one done in May. Her Onco has felt that in her case scans arent needed as often. She hasnt had any surgery because he felt you remove to prevent spread. And she had already spread to her spine at diagnoses. He felt we could see the effectiveness of whichever treatment she was on by looking at her breasts. Scans were done before each change in treatment prior to TDM=1
