Pet Scan for Stage 1?

[caya]

Hey Bird -

You really ARE a rare bird!! How are you doing?
My onc. was so floored because not only was I triple+, but my tumour also had "mucinous" characteristics - which is apparently a "good" prognostic factor - and very very rare - only 2-3% of BC is mucinous, and totally unheard of with HER2+ - he sent my tumour for testing 3 times, to 3 different labs - ultimately confirmed by FISH as triple+.

For once in my life, I wish I wasn't so "special."

all the best

Caya--I am doing great!. Just a little neuropathy in my right foot from the Taxotere/Carboplatin, a more or less permanent deep suntan from the radiation tx, and hot flashes at night from the Tamoxifen. I can't complain now and won't be complaining in 5 years if everything goes as planned.

I never heard of "mucinous characteristic" until now. Sounds like a rare bird syndrome to me.
