Hi Amy--
Are you referring to high dose chemo with stem cell transplant? This is a treatment that is largely out of favor for treating early stage breast cancer, although it is still in trials for treatment of Inflammatory Breast Cancer-- NCI is currently running a trial like this.
I'm not sure about this treatment for Stage IV breast cancer, but I'm sure someone else on this site can provide some help.
Jen
