Hi StephN. My onc said 4 treatments 3 weeks apart to start out. Rads will come later on.
From what I've read Herceptin and Tamoxifen are a couple of treatments that have some of the lesser side effects, and for that I'm greatful.
The doc asked about my heart health (no known problems) and told me I wouldn't have to worry about nausea, they will give anti-nausea meds ahead of treatment. He did say I'd lose my hair about 2 to 3 weeks into treatment.
He may have other drugs planned for the future, but he hasn't told me anything else yet.
According to my Pet/CT scan, the mets are in the inner mammary node chain, my shoulder, lumbar spine, and hip area.
