scan results tomorrow-please keep me in good thoughts

I am going to get my PET/CT scan results tomorrow after 3 months of Navelbine and Herceptin for mediastinal nodes and some sucpecious spots on lung. The CT after a month of N+H showed total reduction of tumours except a 4mm in lung. But my Her2 serum test has been going up after the CT. I am nervous and hoping for a miracle. I really need a miracle, I am tired from chemo. Please keep me in your good thoughts.

Thanks,
Julie

Julie,
Miracles do happen, and I pray for a mriacle for you. Will keep you in my prayers. You may need some more time for the 4mm in the lung to get smaller, good news that there is reduction of tumors.

God Bless,
Jean

Thank you

Thanks alot everybody for all the good wishes and support. They lifted my spirits up and calmed my mind. The news is good as you all wished. PET/CT scan showed nothing and everything got resolved. I am giving all the details in another thread.

I love you all.

Julie
