Thank you Shirley, the more I look into it I agree.

Dx Stage IV Her +, April 2015 with collapsed lung-mets to lung, liver, questionable bone, and some nodes
Chest tube placed to relieve 5 liters of fluid in right lung
1 round of cyclophosphamide/doxorubicin until tumor biopsy confirmed Her2+
May 2015-began taxol/herceptin/perjeta
chest tube removed
3 lung taps to remove continued fluid problem and shortness of breath
September 2015- plural tube placed in lung
Continued with taxol/herceptin/perjeta
Scans slowly improved
December 2015-discontinue Taxol due to increased neuropathy in feet and hands

Continuing on herceptin/perjeta
