Good news - well sort of!!

Dr Charlton phone me this evening, apologised for not getting back to me sooner but did explain that he wanted input from all directions before he made a decision on what to do...

They (whoever that is) have done a fine toothcomb look at my last few scans and decided to go ahead with the CT guided lung biopsy but not until after 8th Jan 2010.....he's spoken to the 'lung bloke' who said waiting a few more more weeks wouldn't do any harm and the tumour could possibly have grown by a couple of mm by then giving more tissue to take to pathology.

I asked about chemo and it's on hold for now until they know what they're dealing with...if the tumour is Her2+ then they need to rethink the Herceptin treatment as it's obviously not working...if it's oestrogen + then they will prob go ahead with the Taxotere...

He reckons he'll get to see me end of Jan beginning of Feb for the results and then decide from there what to do.

So a bit of a reprieve over the holiday period.....

Love Clare xx
