Rich,
I had liver mets and only had Taxotere + Herceptin. That combination worked very well for me. It knocked out the tumor I had in just 3 cycles (I had a total of 6 cycles, one every 3 weeks). We completed the remaining 3 cycles.

I've been NED since January 08. I JUST had a scan yesterday and will visit the onc on Thursday. OH Boy....Scan Anxiety....I'm trying to keep myself busy.

I will keep you posted on the results.

As Steph said...no right answer. It is also encouraging to know that there are multiple combos that can do the trick of one fails.

I think of you and your mom often....Lori
