First of all, I would like to thank you all for your help and I would also like to apologize that I always ask and give too little support to other members of this chat.
It is not because I don´t have any contribution in this forum but 2004 was (and still is) a very difficult time for me. So I want to thank again for your help.
Well, my question is: Is someone out there who had to change to an alternative anti-body because Herceptin was not helping anymore??
I am really desperate. I have to decide of doing WBR or again GK again because of 2 new brain mets and today called me my onc to tell me that my Tumor Markers were very high so it means the mets in the lungs and peritonial mets are growing or not being reduced at all (it will be cleared as soon as posible with a PET-Scan)
As I already said, I live in Germany and I know of some meds which are being used in USA but not in Germany, but I am not sure if there is something which could help me now besides another chemo-combo. I am doing now Navelbine/Herceptin, which has already helped me twice by lung mets.
I will appreciate every single answer, since I am really desolated!!
