Calling all stage iv sisters

[janice]

Thanks Andi, I'll look at that thread now.
Dx at Stage 4. Started with Herceptin and Xgeva. I was on paclitaxel for year (began with Taxol, switched to Abraxane, those are 2 different forms of the same chemo, which is paclitaxel). Good response. Then switched from paclitaxel (for a break, getting neuropathy) to Faslodex (1st hormonal tx), continuing all along with the Herceptin for Her2 and Xgeva for the bone mets. Mets improved, but primary was growing, tested pos for BRCA2, convinced them to let me have a bilateral mx June. NED from neck down... but brain mets! Now 10 days of WBR. Tomorrow I'm supposed to start Kadcyla. Nervous... i've been lucky so far to tolerate txs well.... will this one make me sick?
