Please help me get through this
Pulled a muscle in my leg over a week ago, went for MRI 2 days ago & my onc called me today at work & said I have a tumor on the back of my neck pressing on my spinal cord! I am so depressed & scared. She wants me to stop my tykerb/xeloda & start on strong steroids & go to the radiologist tomorrow. Has anyone ever had anything like this? The tykerb/xeloda worked for the first 2 months I was on it, it made the lesions in my right lung disappear & my trachea & sternum node & just left a little in the lower left lobe. She thought I would be NED by my next scan! But now she says it isn't working because of a new tumor on the back of my neck! I really need some encouragement. She said there are alot more treatment options for me but we have to address this tumor first - she's very concerned.
My history is:
lumpectomy in 11/08 4/12 nodes+, PR/ER+ HER2+, 10/10 mets to lungs, trachea, bones, PR/ER now - & HER 2+++. Started tykerb/xeloda 12/10.
