Results day arrives and I am scared

Today I get FINALLY the results I am so scared...I go to the ward where I get my Hickman line for my herceptin attended to. It's there when I notice I may have an outbreak of shingles...help I'm falling apart..

I am told that I need to stay in isolation till I am seen by the Doc for the results.

The doc comes over and I can tell by his face it aint good news the Herceptin has failed. The docs were looking to that to keep the cancer in check. The lump was cancerous and twenty nine days after the chemo finished the cancer returned!!!!

I am surprisingly calm, probably numb. This is the third diagnosis of cancer in 2 years. My daughter is distraught and for a moment my oncologist looks worse than me. We stay a long time in the "awfulness" that it has come back yes.... well hurry up doc what have you up your sleeve now.....
