All you 'experts' out there----what is the scoop on tamoxofin and HER2? What about other hormonals such as fasolodex, aromosin, arimidex, ect?
Some of us are strongly hormone receptor+. I have used very little hormones in spite of the fact that I am er and pr+ at 60 per cent (original diagnnosis). I have been on Herceptin for over a year, taxotere and carbo for 9 months. Then I had a recurrence in the skin (4 small pea size tumors), had a biopsy and assay and went on doxil and gemzar, with the herceptin. TM's are dropping rapidly. I would like to get off chemo and use hormones for a while, but not if it is not a good thing for HER2!
