Re: I could really use some input
Deena,
I know you are getting a lot of advise. But, if you don't mind I would like to point out something about my treatment. I had my radiation treatments while I was also taking Herceptin and lapatinib. I was in a trial at Mayo in Jacksonville. I had the Herceptin and lapatinib (daily) with Taxol weekly for 12 weeks then when they started giving me the Herceptin every three weeks while I was taking lapatinib, I had five weeks of radiation. If they could combine your treatments, it seems that some of your concerns could be addressed.
I wish you well ~ Sandra
