I live in DFW. I just got back from the onc, and my liver mets got a little better, my bone mets got worse, and my tumor marker went up. So he wants to go back on Herceptin/Carboplatin/Taxol. If my insurance will allow it, he is going to substitute the Taxol with Abraxane. That should help with toxicity. Anyway, I don't know how I feel about going back to an old treatment that worked, but if it doesn't help, he wants to go to Avastin + chemo. Any thoughts?
I feel so down right now, I just wanna tell the guy I just started seeing that he would be better off without me. I know that's not right, he's been single too much. But it just doesn't seem fair to him at all.
