The dermatologist said my biopsy results are…

Tomorrow I have my PET scan after 5 months of Faslodex injections and Zometa infusions for newly diagnosed bone mets. I'm not gonna lie--I've got the jitters. Good scenario--stable. Great scenario--diminished bone mets. This treatment is very tolerable and my med. onc. said that if it works, I would be able to be on it for…
