Hi Cathy,
yeah, that's the reaction I was looking for. You can no longer take the drug because of the risk of going into shock. DON'T PANIC. I had to go off of it and nothing took it's place, I was very worried. But my counts continued to stay normal and continued with taxotere/herceptin. I had bones mets and after a few months on just the tax/her combo, all my tumors disappeared. A PET scan and subsequent MRI's, CT's & bone scans show me NED. I have been off all chemo & herceptin since Sept. (tried herceptin again in dec, had bad reaction) so I'm flying solo right now (very very nervous). But just got tumor markers back and they continue to not only be normal, but continue to go down. I know everyone is different and we all respond unequally, but I hope this give you some confidence.
