Re: Vinorelibine + Herceptin???
I don't know anything about the vinorilibline, but the TH. I do. I have a very aggressive cancer and toss in her2 lucky me. Anyhow I did the 4 dd Ac and lost all my hair on that , also bad se. I have now been on TH for 2 1/2 months . My hair actually started to grow back.other then that few side effects. The worse for me is the tiredness . While on AC my mass ( sheets no ball of tumor that's ibc for you 5cm x 5 cm) slowly started to shrink, progress yes but not what I was hoping for. I am now on round 10 of 12 of TH and we can no longer feel anything. Oncologist says my tissue feels like plain old breast tissue. You have a tough decision ahead of you . When I did the AC I to had to decide between AC and some newer tx that just came out in oct 2013. And in all honesty if the taxol didn't work before you would have to press me hard to try it again even with the herceptin . But I have heard it works great with herceptin as it is with me thus far.
