Well, I almost feel guilty to be posting my good news...and somewhat reluctant to celebrate too much given the recent advice as to the necessity of a routine brain scan (I've never had one). BUT, after 8 rounds of taxotere and weekly herceptin for my breast recurrence and 7.5cm liver lesion, my scans both came back negative. The only thing remaining on my liver is a tiny "wedge" at the tumor site that appears to be scar tissue! I got my first triple dose herceptin yesterday and so far no side effects. I am hoping for a long and successful relationship with herceptin and overjoyed with the thought of NOT having to make the 10 hour round trip to Houston every week anymore! I might even be able to find a bit of the old life I once had again! My prayers are with you all, as always.
Linda
