Re: How did it go today, Ellie? Thinking of you!
Two weeks is criminal!!!! I am sorry you have to wait that long, but I am thankful the procedure is behind you. You will continue in my thoughts and prayers.

Re: How did it go today, Ellie? Thinking of you!
Hi everyone
Finally after a long wait and many calls to the secretary got the second half of my bone sample results this afternoon and they are ALL CLEAR.
Thanks be to God and all on the board for the support.
So for the present the plan is for three more doses of herceptin then if no improvement in the platelets a break of eight weeks to see if they pick up.
Love
Ellie
