Thanks so much for the question Val.....
It has helped to hear the answers to your question! I had Adriamycin and Taxotere before my surgery (it didn't work) but I'm so glad we tried!!!! Then after my mas plus 7 of 9 positive nodes, I had Carboplatin, Taxol, and Herceptin. Now am doing Navelbine and Herceptin (so excited, just 3 more to go)! Then radiation & Herceptin and then Herceptin through June!
I've been curious about how what I am doing compares to what others have done! I really appreciated your question and the information given by those who answered you!
Thanks to all,
Mary Anne
