Hello Everyone,

Am new to this site, I was diagnosed in 07/07. IBC i was given herceptin, taxol and carbo for almost 6mos. then i was taken off them and i was taken xeloda and herceptin for 3mos. i was taken xeloda like they were candy i had no reaction to the meds, so i was taken of that and in March i was put on a clinical trial herc/tykerb. I was told i needed to redo allthe first pet scan showed a decrease in tumor size. My doc was exited so was i. On Tues i had to go back and retake another one for comparasion.... Its only stablizing my tumor. Can anyone tell me if the breast return to normalcy or can someone suggest what can be done for the redness

Thank you
