Darita, Your oncologist has your records and tests showing the size of the lesion, but have you considered asking for an opinion from another oncologist? MD Anderson is where we persuaded an oncologist to try the topotecan. He did so after consulting with Monica. It did not do the job for Susan however as the lesion grew with the Herceptin/ topotecan combination.
He had to go with the depocyt for a while. The depocyt cannot be mixed with the Herceptin so the Depocyt was given separately every three weeks.
Time is so important here, Darita.
I am concerned that more is not being done more quickly.
I am concerned and am hoping they come up with a winning solution soon.
Hope and best wishes to you,

Ev.
