help again

Our friend with IBC, ER- Pr-, HER2+++ is not doing well on Avastin and Navelbine. She tried Tykerb and xeloda and failed. her oncologist said no Herceptin with Avastin because of heart problems. I think she should always be on herceptin but....... her blood pressure was very high, now low and her white blood cells are low - she gets neulesta.
Sheila I see you are on Avastin and Herceptin with good results - what is your heart test level and what is your ER? Was your doctor worried about your heart?
Jean _ are you ER- or ER+?
we are very worried for our friend and her husband died 2 years ago in an accident so it's tough for her. Her daughter is about 10,000 miles away and her mother is elderly.
We both live in France and generally the medical treatment is fantastic.
thanks
sarah
