Taxol, Herceptin and Pet Scan Results

Today I started on Taxol and Herceptin. I am finally in the herceptin club.

I also received my PET scan results. I have a cancerous lymph node in the axilla .9 cm. Although the surgeon removed what he said was 70% of the lymph nodes looks like he missed one. The good news is the 2 lymph nodes in my neck that were on the last PET scan are now GONE!!!!!!!!
