Hi all

I have just been informed that my cancer is on the move again. I have liver mets which were diagnosed July, 04, 12 months after my initial diagnosis. I stopped my Taxol treatment in Feb, 05, and have been continuing on with Herceptin. My onc now wants to try Carbo/Taxol/Herceptin. I don't know anyone at the chemo unit who has had this treatment. Is there anyone out there that has tried this treatment. She also mentioned trying Kalex without Herceptin if this didn't work. I'm feeling pretty scared and worried, as my son starts school next week, and I was hoping to at least get another year of no chemo. Look forward to hearing from anyone.

Thanks.

Lisa
