What sort of tests
I am nearing the end of my Herceptin journey (should be done in June) and have always wondered what sort of tests are done to assure that a reccurance has not (or has) happened. I ask my onc and he says not to worry. I really dont worry that much, if it does happen we will deal with it. But I would like to be educated you know?
