Lorna had an MRI of the spine after 3 chemo’s and it remained stable she has not had one since finishing the chemo. It would be interesting to see if there is any change considering the breast has had such a good response I would expect the spine to have had some change if it is cancer.
But you know what Laurie I was thinking the same thing about being classifying as stage 4 and that Lorna can stay on Herceptin indefinitely, and that would hopefully keep her safe and stay Ned. My concern here is she is only 22 years old and would like to have a family and staying on Herceptin would affect this but then that’s another thread all together!
