Hi there-
Well, we are settled in Michigan and loving the fall weather (when it is not raining)!
I saw my new oncologist. I had pain in my right ribs, which I figured to be from the radiation. Turns out I have 3 fractured ribs. I know now that it is not uncommon for this to happen.
The x-ray showed a spot in my upper right lung. So they ordered a PET scan which shows a small dense area. My new oncologist in Michigan feels certain it is too dense and lobular to be anything but cancer. My old oncologist in Dallas says that she feels CERTAIN it is scarring from the radiation and
not cancer.
My new oncologist wants a CT-guided needle biopsy this week. My old oncologist says she would not stick a needle in there...no way!
I am still on Herceptin but my new oncologist is so sure that I have a progression that she cancelled my Herceptin infusion for tomorrow.
Please...share your thoughts with me. Please share your experiences. I am so grateful!
Maureen
