NOW, in addition to my "liver enzyme" worries, I just got a call from the Betty Ford Breast Cancer center where I had my 1st follow up last Mon and they just got a copy of my original films from my primary care doctor and they say the affected breast looks fine, but they want me to come in tomorrow so that they can magnify the unaffected breast. I was dx by excisional biopsy 2/1/05, Stage 1, Grade 3, ER/PR-, Her2+, no nodes, partial mastectomy 2/7/05, finished 6 rounds of dose dense TEC 5/18/05, 33 rads 8/1/05 and began 1 year of Herceptin 8/18/05. Has anyone else had this happen and WHILE on Herceptin. I was in control before, but since last Thurs, I am beginning to lose it. Thank you.
