I too got Herceptin after Taxol and the trial results came after I finished all my chemo and radiation. So as soon as I heard the trial outcome I asked my oncologist whether he could give me some more Taxol with Herceptin and he said a big NO. If somebody gives I am ready to take as I keep blaming myself for not pushing my oncologist or change to another onc to get it in the first time.
One of the reasons the oncs are hesitating to give is the efficacy of Taxol will not be as good as using it for the first time and also may be the body gets resistant to Taxol and in case of need like in metastatic condition they can not use anymore. I am really interested to know what the other oncs say about this.
regards,
Julie
