Need Advise
My onc has told me that he does not know when to take me off chemo. Last scans were clear and the cancer we were fighting on my chest wall has disappeared after hyperthermia rads. I will continue with chemo for now. My second opinion at UCSF basically said the same thing. Here are the questions I am wondering about:
1. Should I consider getting a third opinion?
2. Should I stop chemo but ask to continue on herceptin?
3. Should I consider a clinical trial for locally advanced bc? I do not currently have measurable disease so I do not know if I will qualify.
Thanks for any input you may have.
