I have been having a heck of a week, new grandbaby and yesterday I had my onc appt for herceptin. I had a chest CT done about 2 weeks after starting herceptin. Well the scan showed a marked decrease in all cancer seen in the previous scan only 4 weeks prior. I was thrilled, hopefully by the next time we do my scans I can be NED or darn close!!!!
