Hi everyone
I had a relapse 8 weeks ago after 8 months off herceptin (after 4 years on it and in remission all that time).
I then had 3 x 3 weekly abraxane and herceptin treatments and had a CT scan today. The numerous small tumours in the liver have disappeared or are "barely perceptible" and the pleural effusion is greatly reduced (actually didnt even show on a chest x ray 3 weeks ago).

I am seeing the oncologist next Wed and probably will have one or two more abraxane tx before just staying on herceptin. I am so relieved!
