Hi I have just been diagnosed with breast cancer HER 2 positive
it’s not in the lymph nodes which is positive but ever time I have scans I seem to have more information thrown at me
my scan has shown nodes on my lungs and a cyst in my liver
I am having a PET scan but they think the nodes my brain due to a bad chest infection I had last year
i have had a call today about a MRI scan I’m not sure what this is for but having a wobble and not wanting it incase there is more bad news
just hoping for some positive comments and advise
