Biopsy Tuesday
Hi all; I haven't been on the board much lately as my dear old Dad has been recovering from QUINTIPLE bypass surgery and I've been helping him adjust to being home after re-hab. He's doing well. Now I'm going in for a fine needle biopsy of some enlarged nodes in my right axilla that we've been watching for a couple of months. PET scan says they're the same nodes that acted up last spring, and we were able to use Navelbine successfully for the second time. So, if the biopsy shows activity we may use Navelbine for this recurrence also, as my onc thinks since it's been over a year since the last use it will be be effective again. I wonder if this would be some kind of record?! He also talked to Dr. Disis at UW; she feels it's possible some of this swelling and edema could be due to the vaccine and lymphocyte activity. I did take the vaccine in my right arm.
Will keep you all posted, and love the new board!!!
<3,
Lolly
