Scan results
I got my PET/CT scan results and the mediastinal nodes are acting up again, two nodes in hilar region and one in subcarinal region. I have been on Herceptin and Tykerb for 10 months. It is really frustrating that my her2 was not controlled by two targeted therapies combined. I am discontinuing Tykerb and starting Navelbine with Herceptin. This is my third time on Navelbine in 2 years. Each time I used it for 3 months and stopped when the scans showed NED.
I am just wondering if there is anyway to treat it locally without using chemo because it keeps recurring in the same place.
I am determined to beat this and manage till my kids grow older. They are 8 and 4 years now.
Thanks,
Julie
