Red face Re: Its all going wrong

Met with the chief oncologist today. He is happy with the body scan! he says it shows things are stable. I was stunned as yesterday the doc was all gloomy but she is not familiar with my chart. So I am to stay on herceptin/tyverb for now. Bone pain could be due to the Zometa as nothing alarming shows. I meet with him again after the mri. He said it might be necrosis or ................ , really hope its necrosis. Anyway, on I go. Thanks all.
