Chelee - What a huge new complication to everything. I'm sorry to hear you are now facing this added challenge. It seems more people replied they'd postpone the surgery & get on chemo. I think I'd go the other way. Of course I'm an expert at nothing, this just is what my gut is telling me. If it were me I'd try to get that surgery date moved up if possible & get that taken care of before there's any fracture. I'd definitely continue with the hercptin/zometa uninterupted. The fact that your number are down since starting this is a sign that you are knocking back the cancer with this. After surgery I'd push to get started with the added chemo as soon as possible. I know you are scheduled for the navelbine, but in the meantime if you could get accepted in the t=dm1 trial all the better. Only my take on things, you are a good decision maker and will make the right one for you. I'm routing for you. BTW I've had my 3rd navelbine trt this week & so far I feel great - no nausea or any complaints. I'm praying that when I get more markers drawn in a couple of weeks they'll show that it's working.
