Last time I went down for Herceptin, I could feel it working in my body when I got home. I figured that this was either very good or very bad, but wasn't sure which. We called my doctor and saw her today. She examined me and fortunately couldn't find anything. We will have more routine scans in late August. These will give us more definitive answers.
We also reviewed what she went over with the tumor board. This board is a group of doctors that review cases and give each other their medical opinions based on the latest research. At this point they were VERY pleased with my last set of scans that showed so much progress. They are not recommending a mastectomy right now. They would like me to wait and see how my next set of scans go. At that point they will reevaluate my staging. If there was any new activity in the breast, then they would recommend the mastectomy.
I go down again in a couple of weeks for a Herceptin treatment. In the mean time, we plan on living life to the fullest and enjoying summer with our kids. In a couple of weeks Brett and I are also planning on a little "vacation" to the Oregon coast. It's a lumber yard business trip that we are looking forward to.
Continuing to look up,
Sheri
