New mets!!..... already??!!
I dont know I guess it must happen... but a bone scan I had last week showed up post-operative extension of the mets to my femur and new activity in my third rib and my sternum  - and I only just had my last bone scan in November.
I'm currently on Taxotere and Herceptin every three weeks and am about to start one of the bone strenghteners on Tuesday. I had this recent bone scan as I have been getting extra pain along my thigh. It just all seems to be happening so quickly.
Maybe the treatment takes a bit longer to have some effect?? I dont know... I have yet to talk with my Onc. re the results.
Sorry I dont post too much ladies... I am so tired... but I do read nearly every day and share in your joys and challenges!
Thanks so much for listening.
Blessings all
