Anne,
Yes, as Al says, stay informed and pushy if you have to.
But please keep in mind that it is not unusual for mets to appear shortly after or even during chemo. I personally know how frustrating it is. Since fall 2003, I've had mets to liver, bones, brain and lymph nodes. Even now, while I'm on weekly chemo, we think new mets have appeared on the liver. (I'll get a followup PET scan tomorrow.)
There are SO many chemo combos, as well as hormones if needed. Your mom may unfortunately be like me. Herceptin doesn't do the trick alone, but needs chemo to work effectively.
Fight the fight, but try to stay positive. Fear and panic only breeds more fear and panic.
Love and light,
Lisa
