, my sister also has BC. 3 years ago was treated with surgery,

chemo, and radiation. Now " something " is showing up on PET scan. It is behind

her sternum (breast bone) and surgeons not sure how to even get a biopsy of it.

Next Monday she goes in for biopsy/surgery as they try to cut cartilage from

ribs and obtain specimen at that time. They think it may be in her lymph glands

as sometime is also showing up under her right arm. One doctor trying to give

her some hope but others not. Frustrating. Lots of tears. But I don't know that

she would even try alternative treatment but I am trying to obtain infor in case

she will.

I just went through a similar thing. That is how they are. We were given

some very bad news also and sometimes they make you feel like there is no

hope. It had been 3 1/2 years since I had surgery, chemo and radiation.

They did get a lung biopsy through interventional radiology. My mets is

definitely BC. I have had 3 treatments of taxotere. Oncologist is very

positive we can go into remission. I have a 1.7-cm lesion in my right upper

lobe with involvement of the hilum and mediastinum (that is were the nerves

and vessels go on and out of the body). If you need someone to talk to, I

am here. Email is sharner@.... I am also a reach to recovery

volunteer.

God Bless, Sharon
