Hi all,
2 questions...
My wife, Caryn, last had a brain MRI in January and because her tumor markers seems to be a good gauge of how she's doing her onc moved her scans to every 6 months. As a result she has a CT and PET scheduled shortly but when she asked about a brain MRI the doc said that he wouldn't do it since he feels that it's too early. It seems that the general consensus here is to do them every 3 months so I'm wondering if I should push the issue. He's been pretty good about doing what we've asked for to date but I'm not sure if this is the right decision. As a reminder, she was diagnosed with mets to lungs and liver in July of '04 and after Gemzar/Herceptin she was declared NED in January. Thankfully she's been only on weekly herceptin ever since.
My second question revolves around the Muga. She had one Muga before starting herceptin mid '04 and hasn't had one since. The onc says that it's only needed when combined with chemo.
I welcome your thoughts.
Warmest regards,
Eric
