Irene,
I do not have personal experience with mets...but at S.A. I did speak with my onc. who is having great results with Herceptin, taxotere, and
Avastin...(he particularly feels Avastin is a wonder drug) and has been
having great results, he tells me that his center is a major user of the drug. I also had herceptin /taxotere and it is doable. After attending
S.A. I would stress that you have another opinion and just be double
sure what you decide to do.
I am sorry that your scan came back with that news - please keep us updated....
Hugs,
Jean
