What's next?
I finished 8 rounds of chemo combination of taxotere and carboplatin with Herceptin last December 28, 2005. I had a PET/CT scan last January 16 and the result came back ........ "Inferior right hepatic lobe focal activity on prior study is notably improved; very mild residual irregular active hypodensity remains" is what the report says. My oncologist told me today that we will continue with Herceptin weekly. I am being given a chemo break. Is that good or bad if I am still not NED? Will Herceptin only help to becoming NED eventually? Should I consider liver resection?
May I have your advice on what I need to do next?
Thanks.
Helen
