starting Herceptin soon
Hello,
My name is Teri and I am 42 years old. I was diagnosed 5 years ago(2002) with IBC. I with through the regular chemo for 4 months, had a masectomy and then did more chemo for 4 more months and radiation for 8 weeks. I seem to be sailing through until last Aug. when I was told I now had bone mets. At first we tried Tamoxifien and Zometa for 4 months but it did not work. I have just finished 3 weeks of radiation because I was in a lot of pain so they thought it would help reduce the pain. I am scheduled to have a port put in my arm tomorrow so I can start receiving a low dose of Taxotere and Herceptin in 2 weeks. I was wondering if anyone can give me an idea of what to expect with Taxotere and Herceptin. I have seen some of the posts and it looks like I might be in for the long haul.
