14 Dec - CAT Scan Probably Ok
Well, we got the results of Sarah's CAT scan today and it's mostly good. No new tumors noted and spine hasn't gotten any worse, but it looks like the spots on her liver got bigger. Last CAT scan they showed up and an MRI determined that they were not malignant, so Sarah's going in for an MRI tomorrow evening to further evaluate her liver (and spine, just in case - she has been getting a little bit of pain there). Now we've got to wait until next Thursday when the MRI results come back in order to really breathe easier. If the liver areas are cancerous, then it'll kick off add'l treatments likely including chemo. If not, the we're ok and she can continue Herceptin & switch to a triple dose every three weeks. The nail biting continues...

Dear Sarah and Alan,
I will be thinking about you over the next week and hoping for the best possible outcome. The waiting is always the hardest part.
Love, Kathy H
I will say a prayer.
Thinking of you, wishing you the best present possible Xmas present - a clean test result.
Love - Sharon
That came out all garbled - "wishing you teh best possible XMAS present - a clean result"
