Feb 1998 - Stage 0, DCIS had radiation age 39.
May 2005 - Stage 4, 1.7 mm tumor on left breast with 0 involvement of lymph nodes. CT and PET confirmed one 3.4 mm spot liver mets. Had modified radical mastectomy on left breast.
8 rounds of Taxotere, Carboplatin once every 3 weeks and finished chemo in December 2005. Liver mets decreased to 1.2 mm. Had chemo break since.
Now on Herceptin weekly.
CT scan last week still showed the same size on liver mets. A soft tissue however came up in the chest area came up on the CT scan and my onc is checking more into it and scheduling a PET scan.
