Dear Helen,

I was dx. with mets to medistynime and spine two years ago. My local onc. would not do rad. tx. to med., but to spine only. I went to Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Zion, Ill for a second opinion and they were able to do both rad. tx. to med. and spine. I had a large mass which shrunk and has not given me any problems since. I had shortness of breath and pleural effusion but no mass in lungs. I am currently on xeloda for a large lymph node that popped up on my last ct. scan. I also am on zometa for the bone mets. I havn't had heceptin since Dec.

Love and Blessings, Lu Ann
