Hi !
I got the test report of my original tumor which was in the storage for 9 years.
Report read as " Immunoperoxidase stain performed on two paraffin embedded, fomalin fixed tissue show variable staining Her-2/neu, with 2+ to 3+ staining"
When asked for the FISH, the doctor told me that it was sufficient enough to receive herceptin.
I am suspected of having liver & lung met since last July (2003), two tiny nodules in the liver & no biopsy was performed.
I stopped Tamoxifen & started Xeloda from Dec 03. I also started taking Femara from March 04.
The recent scan shows no significant changes in the tumor size in the liver.
Oncologist told me that the situation is stable and would continue Xeloda full cycles.
I am thinking now about Herceptin with another chemo drug and I will talk to the oncologist in my next visit.
Your comments please
Chandi
