Becky-
Thanks so much for the updates, and I echo especially our gratefulness in receiving them in "lay terms". I had failed on taxotere/herceptin, and thus we didn't use taxol with the avastin when I recently went off xeloda/tykerb trial. We tried doxil/avastin, which was unsuccessful. I am now on navelbine/herceptin/avastin, and i am hopeful about the herceptin/avastin synergy, and was grateful my onc let me try a second chemo with the avatin...
Thanks again for your notes.
Kind regards,
Shell
