Hi gals. I have a question for you. Has anyone with her+ er/pr-, very fast growing pathology, had a small (tiny) lung met that just sat there, (while getting NO treatment) didn't grow, for a year or two? My doc says that could be possible, but it doesn't seem like it's that way for us her+ girls (she has a general onc practice with few her+ bc patients)
I've had two false positive (even my doc has admitted that the readings were "bungled') lung ct scans, where tiny spots were found by the radiologist, then shown NED from a following PET/full body CT.
My onc just brought up scanning yet again, just to make sure, and I don't want to go through this again, or the possibility of an unnecessary lung biopsy! I'm high risk -- stage 3a, but just hit two years NED (finished herceptin last August) and absolutely no symtoms (I'm a runner, etc.) Feeling great.
I'd love to hear opinions, experiences, any advice that might help me decide whether to put myself through another scan or not.
Best to all. Thanks.
Linda
