Hi Vicki !
My dx was in 1994, t2n1m0, tumor was er pr +ve and more PR. I had CMF chemo and tamoxifen. Stopped tamoxifen 97 Dec to see whether it was causing for liver enzymes to rise(big mistake). got a recurrence on the scar in 98. After the surgery, followed 26 radiations followed by CAF chemo and re-started tamoxifen. Developed a flu in 2001 march and got a persistant cough later it was diagnosed to the post radiation effect. Became hoarsiness in May 2003 and a routine scan showes a tiny liver tumor and a 2nd one in December 2003.
I was suspected of having stag 1v recurrance, liver & lungs. Started Xeloda in December 2003 and stopped tamoxifen. Scan in March 2004 showed good responds to Xeloda, not growing and spreading. I started Femara in March 2004. I have just completed Xelolda 6 cycles and now waiting for Herceptin (my original tumor was tested recently and found her2neu +2 & +3).
Hope my story will help you.
Hugs.
Chandi
