Girls, I am wondering between your busy day that you can reply to my deperate pleas!! My hubby=(Stage IV Inflammatory HER2+) stopped treatment on 4/12/06 that consisted of Taxotere, Herceptin, monthly Zometa(stopped Taxotere). His mets are in all bones except skull. He also takes Tamoxifen dialy. We will be getting tons of results to many tests & scans today, but his tumor markers are climbing quite consistently (like 110%), says he feels well. I guess the main ? is: If the Taxotere combo failed, what did you girls do for your new chemo recipe? It has only been an 8 week window without chemo, but I am shaking today, I am need of desperate support and I am so sorry if I sound like I am whining. I am just having a bad day and of course I will have to deal with whatever comes from it. We are getting a second opinion about treatment and new recipe on 6/19 with another remarkable Oncologist and then we will be going to Dana Farber Cancer Institute short after. And I do have my GREEN SHOES on!! Any suggestions for questions or recommendations I should be making today? He has been on Taxotere form 10/06 thru 4/12/07. I look forward for the guidance My Friends...>Waiting For A Miracle>Believe51..(Marie G)
