Dear Lyn
I was diagnosed in October 2003 and have been on various chemos ever since for skin mets and then the 2nd breast. I don't think of it much now as it just is part of my life.
I have my herceptin with the chemo nurses every Thursday and we discuss various things.Now I have carboplatin every 3 weeks ( although as I said it will be 5 weeks this 2nd round due to low haemo and platelets). Luckily for me I can work and run the kids everywhere etc.
I am so happy to be getting herceptin and like you am interested in Lapatinib.
i don't know if you remember but I was to go on a trial last year and got into the arm for just xeloda - no herceptin allowed and not the lapatinib/xeloda arm. After much anguish and ethical dilemas of pulling out of a trial I did - so i could continue with herceptin.I feel it was the right thing to do now.
love
lindaw
