Thanks Velva, how often did you have the Herceptin/Gemzar/Carboplatin? Have you been on Aromasin? I had that while waiting for radiation for lumps in the neck and they disappeared before my appointment so didn't need the rads. My onc never suggests surgery for my lumps, I think he is also scared the skin won't heal. All my combos only seem to work the once, and I have to move onto something else because when I was still on the aromasin I had more lumps but when biopsied they said they were similar but not the same as the original. I am begining to think that the side being treated now is the primary and the surgery in the beginning was the secondary, sounds strange but it took a MRI to detect the lump that could be seen and felt and it slowly got bigger and bigger on this side after it had worked its way back around my neck to where it is now. I have a very numb thick neck so MRI next week will tell all I hope. My onc didn't dispute my theory either, so hopefully this is the primary and I can get rid of it from the source. I shall keep you informed, I am also going to have a CT next week of the chest.
Love & Hugs Lyn
