Dear Gemma and friends,
Thanks for your reply! I found it quite useful and interesting.I am glad you seem to have a combo that helps you. (except for that pesky lymph node) You are the first person I know who had Herceptin/Doxil! When you had Herceptin/Doxil did you have cardiovascular issues? I know it is kind of unusual to give Herceptin and Doxil together but that is what my onc is proposing
Does you onc give other patients Herceptin/Doxil too? Are you part of a trial for Herceptin/Doxil or just receiving it as a regular treatment?

Had you ever had liver mets before taking the Doxil? Did Doxil lower your white counts and platelets?
What are the major side effects of Ixempra?
Hope to hear from you soon during this very very hard time. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Lida
