Hi , I was diagnosed in 2008 with idc, treated with chemo, rads, herceptin. I have been recalled from my mammogram due to calcifications, have biopsy next week. Dr says it may be ok or dcis, if cancer is back will the her2 be checked again and would this mean herceptin is no longer working? Appreciate any thoughts

Hi Sarah, Got result today, radiologist read MRI and thinks it is hemangiomas he recommends rescan in 3 months, other radiologist is sure it is benign and would not bother with follow up scan , so good news I think, bloating must be ibs , pain must have been ibs and or gallstones So indebted to people on here xx

Hi folks, Thanks so mu ch for the replies, it helps a lot. Went to my GP who looked at all the results, 2 lesions on liver, nodule on lung which they think is nothing to worry about. Only abnormal blood was raised gamma gt. Have MRI tomorrow. The ct scan was done with contrast is that different from a pet scan? I can't help but think for them to say it looked suspicious on ultrasound is going to be bad news yet ct was inconclusive it said hemangioma, Yet another crap weekend ahead! Waiting for results. X

Hi folks,
Horsie
You are right nothing is definite yet but i have had so much bad luck i find it hard to be positive. It is good to hear how well you have done, that gives hope for others . I have had abdo pain and bloating for a while which i put down to IBS, i have just found out i have some big gall stones so who knows what is causing these symptoms.I guess the the CT will show what is happening.

I have been told the lesion is in the left lobe,

Hello again x i understand now why biopsy is not routinely done if it can seed cancer cells, thanks for sharing this info
Nicky

Thanks for replying,
Sounds like a biopsy is a nightmare, my worry would be getting treatment that is not going to help if the cancer has changed from er and her2 + hopefully the ct scan will be definitive. I am having a bit of a meltdown, worrying that I am going to die soon , so hard to take this in, xx

Hi folks,
I have had an ultrasound which showed a lesion that looked suspicious, on breast MRI it looked like a cyst, now awaiting ct scan. Can I ask what tests you had to diagnose mets on liver and did you get biopsy to see if the cancer had not changed it's status as I believe that can happen. If ct confirms mets what should I ask the onc?
Thanks to you wonderful people for all the advice
Xx

Hi Geordie x,
Sorry to hear about your mets, cancer is a s ****y disease . Did you have a biopsy to confirm the mets were her2 ? Or is it assumed they will be ?
Thanks xxx

Thanks Sarah, I was just shocked yesterday As the MRI showed a cyst I thought the ultrasound would confirm it , I hope the ct is able to confirm things. Good to know that you have had a positive response, do you think I would be offered herceptin again if it is mets? I had a year of it x
