I had my last TC treatment yesterday. Yeah!

I also got my results back from the CYP2D6 test to see if my body will metabolize Tamoxifin. According to the results, I am 1/1 which means I will be an Entensive Metabolizer of the drug.

I want to thank everyone on this board who takes time to post and keep us all informed about what is going on with BC. If I were not a member of this board, I would not have known about the Elisa test or the Tamoxifin test.

I will start Tamoxifin in December, and I will also have scans. I told the doctor I have apprehensions about the scans, and he told me at this point he does not think I have anything to worry about.

But, I am concerned about what to do next. I will finish my year of Herceptin in the middle of February, and I was first diagnosed Stage IV with mets to my L4 in my spin.

I will have to decide if I stay on Herceptin. I know some of you have stayed on Herceptin. If any of you have any advice, knowledge, or recommendations, I would really like to hear from you.

I have also asked my doctor about getting me in the vaccine trial in North Carolina. If any of you have any thoughts on this, I would greatly appreciate your thoughts.

God Bless all.
