Thought plan was Taxol, carbo, hercep. IHC came back negative and the local doc felt the prudent thing was to just use Taxol, meet with Cobleigh tomorrow and add extra ingredients upon further discussion. I don't know about this but stepping into this slowly seemed to have some psych benefit to mom since she is unfamiliar with chemo. Seemed to think Carbo was not worth doing if her2 was negative. Mentioned gemcitazine or something as possible combo. Sure wish this her2 test would be resolved soon. Supposed to go to Mayo next for further FISH test. Strange. They gave me mom lorazepam for nausea and it made her speak gibberish. Gave her benadryl and it made her legs restless. Loopy and restless. Hard to see her this way. It's 2:30pm and we're supposed to drive 2.5 hrs to Chicago by tonight.As always..thoughts?
