Re: TDM1 is bust for me
Amanda,
I too would like to express my awe at the whole swimming 1.2 km thing! Seriously, I don't know many "perfectly healthy" women in our age group who could do that...certainly not me...well done!
And, more importantly...I'm glad to hear that you and your treatment team decided to stay the course until you're sure of the results. Radiology is not the exact science I once thought it was 
Happy New Year my friend!
Denise
