Re: the REALLY REALLY good news and the bad news (her2 stats outside clinical trials)
Lani,
This is wonderful news. I can't thank you enough for all that you do. I saw my oncologist today and I am about to have my 2 year follow up scans in September. My doctor did not want to order a CT of the brain as I had one with my one year scans and another CT would expose me to more radiation. I am nervous as I know Herceptin does not cross the blood/brain barrier. Although I had a great response to chemo, I did not have a PCR and this has always made me nervous! Does anyone know how often we should be trying to get brain scans done? Sorry if I am going a bit off topic. I am not sure how to start my own thread.
Thanks,
Cat
