Re: Need help! Calling brains in.
michka,
I'm sure I won't be much help either but I do know CMF is an older regimen that was commonly used. In fact my chemo nurse had bc 17 yrs ago and she used CMF and has remained NED all this time.
I can tell you "mamacze" (Kim) had liver mets. She was put on Navelbine/Herceptin combo and has remained NED since 2004...she just maintains on Herceptin alone.  She's doing great...I'm sure she wouldn't mind if you sent her a PM. There is also our dear Chrisy. She recurred several times with liver mets. I know once she used TCH...and now for almost the last 3 yrs she has been on T-DM1 and remained NED this entire time. There are others I just can't think of them right now. But hang in there...you have options.
Chelee
