I had my oncology appointment yesterday morning and as I had anticipated things have changed a bit!! When I got the results of my recent surgery I was given an idea of what they had decided to do as far as treatment goes and had gone with the impression this would be starting as soon as possible. But you know the docs they never seem to be in too much of a hurry. So anyway my oncologist wants me to have a PET scan to find out exactly what is going on in my liver this should be done within the next 2 weeks. She said if it shows cancer in my liver she wants to put me back on Herceptin but if the lesions on my liver are nothing then I will just have rads to my neck and chest. I have also got to have a MUGA scan in preperation for the possibiltiy of starting Herceptin. There was also talk of putting a port back in and I joked I still had the old one and I think she thought I was being serious!! I suppose it is better news as I wont be going on chemo and I found Herceptin and rads ok last time which would mean I could carry on working too which I was worried about. I am just anxious about the liver thing yet I dont really know why?
