At initial dx early 2005, she was Stage 2, only 1 out of 10 nodes was + for cancer, tumor size was 3cm, er-/pr-. At dx they said she was her- (mistake by pathologist), she underwent mastectomy, radiation and was given chemo; taxol.
Cancer reoccured later last yr and was found in her spinal fluid and 9 mets to her brain, she went to a "wellknown" cancer center and they wondered why she she developed mets to rapidly so they re-ran some tests and found out she was in fact her+, she was started on herceptin, she was given wbr for the brain tumors, had an ommaya reservoir inserted for chemo, at some point in time she was also on depocyte, xeloda etc.
She developed carcinomatous meningitis and ended up being unable to walk, see or hear, she also had developed white matter disease in the brain secondary to the wbr.
