Scans
Hi everyone,
After over 12 months of treatment and still on Herceptin and Tamoxifen I have my scans tomorrow. A mammogram on the untreated breast and ultrasound on the one that had the nipple sparing mastectomy. Feeling anxious just wondering if others have had the same scans and how they went.

Thanks everyone for your words of encouragement. It certainly makes you feel better knowing others feel the same. I had the great news today that the scans are clear. I was so relieved. So I will keep going on with the Herceptin and Tamoxifen but can now look forward to Christmas ??

Thanks Jane, I'm glad that was a false alarm then but I bet it was nerve racking. I am finding Herceptin fine and will finish that in March. I am having problems with my nails being very weak but that's probably from the A/C and the Taxol.

Best of luck for February Rowdy and I can imagine these tests are always going to make us nervous. How did you go on Tamoxifen?

Hi Michelle, I'm due for my first 12 monthly scans in February, and also a bit nervous about it. I think that this is normal and sending you positive vibes that all goes well for you. Big cuddles, Trace ????????

Hi Had my 2nd mammo / U/S yesterday - and do we ever get over the anxiety - I'd say no. For me I get a little stressed over all tests now - even ordinary blood ones!!! Am waiting for my surgeon appt on Monday - they found a benign something or other on my good breast (according to technician) and an oily cyst and a dark spot "that could be fluid"on my cancer breast. But I wasn't called back for 2nd mammo!! So I am hoping that all is still well. Honestly as soon as they do the measuring in U/S I break out in a panic - heart racing etc - I so remember all the measuring the first time - click, click, click. Good luck with yours.
