Hi Lisa, thank you for your kind.
Remarks.
And yes, I am pushing for a four-month time frame between my last Pet Scan and my next one due in Feb., pushing for March 2024.
Back in August of 2022. I asked
my oncologist if I could see a pulmonologist to look at my lungs' nodules. She said ok.
I met with The doctor in pulmonology. She found a nodule that could be biopsied.
It turned out that my breast cancer had indeed spread to my lungs.
Had I not asked to see this doctor
in P, I do not know when my oncologist would order a biopsy.
With this new results from the P
doctor. my oncologist put me on
Verzenio(not sure of spelling).
I took it for 40 days 300mgs a day and almost died from this drug.
I developed blood clots, massive weight loss, and massive bowel problems. Ended up in the hospital for four days.
I am now on an estrogen blocker that seems to quiet the cancer.
However, I would need another biopsy to see if the cancer is dormant.
The oncologist has not offered that to me. and I don't think she will.
