    Jess...I know it's two months from now but I wanted to wish you good luck on the chest MRI...hopefully, you won't have scanxiety in the meantime...I almost jumped when my med onco mentioned that we'll do another PET/CT in three to four months...he wants to watch a small, mildly hypermetabolic node in my neck...yikes...will this ever end???  I guess, I should be really thankful that my med onco is very proactive...

    Take care y'all.

    Well, I have to wait for the mri until I have the tissue expander out.  i wondered about that!!!  They assumed mine te was out when the doc wanted to schedule my mri.  The powerful magnet of the mri would totally mess with my te since there is a magnet in it!!!  Guess I'm gonna have the apt in Jan like I though!!!!  :)

    TriciaK - yes the waiting is hard, but we can do it! I'm waiting to hear the final path report after my left mastec. last Tuesday. They say all is fine, but would definitely have been cancer in the near future. IF there was already something....it will mean another surgery for auxillary node dissection. But, I'm thinking positive and trusting God that all will be negative at this point.

    Thinking of all of you here.....waiting and waiting and waiting. Let's think positive thoughts together to make the wait go faster!

    Hey everyone.  I have been having persistant thoracic back pain for a while now and am having a T-spine MRI tomorrow.  I am currently on Taxol/Herceptin.  I have one more Taxol treatment before a planned bilateral MRM but am 100% convinced I have bone mets.  I really hope I am wrong.

    Tricia and 2hands4me, I hope you both get good news!

    2hands4me- glad you got great news!

    Tricia- sorry you are still waiting.  It seems like you have been waiting forever :-(

    I had my thoracic MRI today.  The tech said "The scans look good. Do you want a copy on cd?"  So of course now I am analyzing what this means.  Does that mean they are good technical scans or that they looked clean, no mets?  I know the techs are not radiologists but they see enough of these scans to have a pretty good idea.  I would expect, other than mets, that since I am young there wouldn't be too much else to look at in my thoacic spine (ie, not a lot of arthrtis or bulging discs, etc)  Anyway, I will hopefully get results monday.

    Have a great weekend, everyone!  Thanks!

    Hi all!

    I got good news today in that my T-spine MRI did NOT show evidence of metastatic disease!  Not sure what is causing my pain, still worried about a rib/shoulder lesion as the pain has progressed more laterally, but it definitely started in my thoracic spine so if that was clear I have hope that my rib/shoulder pain is just from overuse or something.  (maybe lifting my two babies??)

    Thanks for all the good thoughts and wishes.  I will check in here frequently (still waiting for good news for you, Tricia).  I also will be having a post-chemo/pre-surgery PET in a few weeks.  That one will make me insane with fear, I am sure!
