Sue had the PET scan today. The results are very good. It looks like the cancer is only in the breast tissue, no nodes or other organs, bones etc. A very welcome relief.

With the new information the clinical staging stays at IIB.

Our schedule for next week is as follows:

* CORRECTION * Wed 9/19 we have a consultation at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in NYC.  We want everything done so far reviewed again to get agreement on diagnosis and plan of care. If all parties agree Chemotherapy will begin on Friday 9/21.

I will keep you updated as new information becomes available, please subscribe to the blog if you want e-mail updates.
