hi all, my first post. i'm 45 andwas dx'd with stage 4 her2+ jan `12. liver and bone mets along with 2 small brain mets.
5 months carboplatin taxol herceptin xgeva
then 6 small brain mets
end carboplatin taxol, keep herceptin add tykerb xeloda...clean for 4 mo
feb '13 5 new brain mets different spots from the old ones so 15 rounds WBR. still on herceptin and tykerb. got rid of the xeloda, clean again.
that all said, i get scanned every 3-4 months, brain MRI, body PET and echo. insurance denies it, oncologist intervenes and so far they pay.

scans are good.......
