Hello Helle,
I am er+, her2+++ with mets to the bones and skin. I was on herceptin + navelbine from July 03 to Jan 04, when progression occurred. I continued with herceptin but switched to gemzar (gemcitabine)alone (+zomeda monthly to strengthen the bones). My onc prefers to combine the carboplatin with either taxol or taxotere (I forgot which one), both of which we are saving for later. I am experiencing a positive response for skin mets with the gemzar and will have scans rerun to see what's happened with the bones in May. Hope this helps. Wishing you the best of luck with your treatment!
