Scan results are in
I had to go last week and have an Echo, Brain MRI, and PET/CT done all in one day...it was a long day. Just part of my six month scanning. Got results today and I am STILL NED. I'm so excited, I can't believe it's been 5 years since I was diagnosed with lung mets and I've been healthy for most of it. I still plan on continuing with my herceptin. I was just so afraid that my "warranty" would expire after I hit the 5 year mark...sherry
