So, there is good news and there is bad news!

I have recently had some tests done. Last week I had a PET scan and then this week I had a bone scan. My oncologist wanted these done so we could see how the treatment was doing and decide how many more I needed. What the scans did show, nobody expected. The good news is that the places that showed up on my scans in Feb. have responded well to the chemo. The enlarged nodes in my neck had shrunk significantly, and the places that were on the bones were showing no activity. YAY! But the bad news, there were new signs of cancer in several places. There are two small spots on my spine, more enlarged nodes in my chest, places on my spleen, and my liver. The report stated that there "were too many mets on the liver to count." So, obviously, not the news we were wanting, and certainly not what we were expecting. Thankfully I have a doctor that is not letting pride stand in his way, and admits that I need to see a specialist. We're headed to Jacksonville, Fl to the Mayo Clinic. There is a doctor there that specializes in breast cancer and he feel really confident that she is gonna be my best option at this point. He said that if it were his wife, that's who he would take her to, and that said a lot to me. I still am waiting to here from the Mayo Clinic as to when my appt is, but will post when I do find out. There is a good possibility that I have left something out, but honestly, I am mentally exhausted right now. I feel like I have been thrown into a funnel cloud and can't quite get a grip on what is going on. My mind is racing on everything imaginable. Thank you for you continued prayers and support, and I ask that you keep praying. Not only for me, but my husband and kids, as well.
