Onc feels growth could have happened in the 2 weeks between end of Xeloda and start of Herceptin. She is, as I type, getting another 3 wk dose of H alone. Will be rescanned in 4 weeks. Mom said "It's going to be a long month." Indeed.
Still waiting on serum her2 results.
Discussed possibility of Tykerb/Herceptin combo...with possible insurance issues. I note some here have had H+T+Xeloda. I had passed along the bicarb raticles and he mentioned he had tried that in the past without benefit. I don't know what protocol etc. it's still a helluva idea...if it worked. He mentioned a novel protocol he is working on involving Tamoxifen..but not in an ER+ dependent manner. Going to talk more about that next visit.
