Hi everybody, first I want to wish everyone a PEACEFUL Thanksgiving! Now, my question: my onc has included a head CT in my scan orders for next month. I am stage IV since Jan. '07 and have done Xeloda but been off for 3 months now. Also did Avastin, off that since Sept. I have a new lump on my chest wall, about 4 weeks now. So is this head CT kind of a baseline or csould she be suspecting something?? I have no symptoms in or on my head...what do you think??

It is better to check everything so he can give you the best tx. Good luck to your scan. Have a great Thanksgiving.

You already have enough stuff to worry about.
If you don't see double, have a ringing in your ears, or have other hearing and/or vision problems just thank your lucky stars.
My wife has all those symptoms plus large lumps on the left side of her neck all the way up to heaven...

I know Bimmer, sometimes I get waaayyy ahead of myself and worry needlessly about stuff that doesn't matter. I thought cancer had taught me not to sweat the small stuff but apparently not!
I am so sorry about Diane. Please know you are in our thoughts.
