I just got the results of my bone scan in. Everything is clear and showing normal. So thats all my tests and scans until my next appointment and Im showing good. What a relief, so far so good. I have an appointment with my 2 onco's in August. But Im a little confused on one topic. Any help or questions you guys can give me will be appreciated. When I was dx, everything was and sounded so much more serious but treatable. I had an appointment with my Rad. Onco and he was so much more upbeat and optomistic because I was er+, Pr+ and Her2nu+. My understanding is that these make my cancer so much more agressive, so why is my specialist so much more optomistic? Is it because there's a treatment there for it? His exact words were " The same cancer WILL NOT come back in that breast!" Did I miss something? or is there something I should have asked? I even ask my husband if Im understanding this the same way he is or am I making things different in my head. He seems to understand it the same way. Apparently my margins were fantastic. But it's still was in 8/18 of my nodes, stage III. So Im not getting it. Why such an optomistic outlook. Im told the specialist is the best and he doesn't believe in sugar coating anything. Im the type of person that needs information, good or bad, then I can deal with whats coming. Anyway, I need some imput, or some help with any questions I should ask in my appointment in 3 weeks. Im not trying to look at the pessimistic side, but I dont want to get all excited then have a big let down in 3 weeks, or should I just take the good news and run with it until I get something different. Confusing myself I think.
