Unfortunately, I had a pet scan that is showing uptakes under my arm, clavicle, along the chest and also several lung nodules.
I was originally diagnosed in mar 03, stage IIIC, and had neo-adjuvant chemo of cytoxin/epirubicin/taxotere. Great response, had lumpectomy, SNB (negative), 2 more t/ments of CET, and then radiation. I also took Herceptin/Navelbine for 3 months just as a prevention. Finished in 1/04, and felt changes under my arm in 9/04. Cancer back in lymph nodes under arm, and had complete axilla dissection in Dec 04. Went on Herceptin/taxotere weekely (3 weeks on/ 1 week off) and this week was supposed to be my last taxotere. Felt changes under the arm again...and thus the pet scan and the devastating news.
I am er-/pr- and her2neu+++. My doctor will be speaking to me soon to discuss different t/ment options, and I just wondered what has worked for people with reoccurrence, to the lung, who are er-/pr-.
Obviously that this reoccurrence happened while on herceptin/taxotere is not promising, but I hope there's something else out there that will work for me.
Thanks for your thoughts....
