Well...brought mom and she is getting Herceptin..alone. Not what we discussed with Onc last visit but nurses say if H doesn't do the trick, Navelbine can be added. I'm a bit confused since prior to the serum test(which I asked for) she was considered her2 negative. But now with slightly elevated her2 serum results (14, <12.8=normal) the plan seems to be to bet everything on Herceptin. Granted, it can be changed in the future. But..doesn't this seem a bit strange? It wasn't that long ago her liver was in pretty bad shape function-wise.
