Hi Linda

I am coming up on my 2 yr mark, and my last scans last yr were neg.
Is it possible for you to have the scans done by a more experienced
BC Center?
There other reasons for something to show up on a scan besides mets, so no growth,with no txs for us her girls is a good thing I think.
For me though, I would want to check it out to be sure.
Good Luck

Hi Linda:
Thanks for your reply. That's a good suggestion, to continue to scan but insist on either choosing the radiologist, or traveling to big city center for the test.
Best
Linda, too.

Michelle,

I didn't receive Taxol. After asking 2 oncologists about it they both said no. I received almost 7 doses of Herceptin. (6 mo. after chemo) They had to stop the the IV during the last treatment due to Muga results.
I am so glad you are NED. That is awesome! Priase God!!! Thanks for your support and encouragement.
