Mike,
Thanks for the info...just want to make you aware of ONE very important detail. In nearly 3 years of testing the CA 27/29 side by side the Serum Her-2, I have found that the CA 27/29 can be within NORMAL range, aka, less that 38, while the serum her-2 is much higher and out of control. If I were you, I would not rest until I knew for certain where the Serum her-2 was. In the grand scheme of things...thank god she did get the antibiotics...overall, that can be a big help, if for nothing else but to start her out on a clean path.
That said, as we suspected...this case is tricky. It may turn out that the her-2 is not the driving force behind this second tumor, but I would definitely USE the HERCEPTIN in any treatment regimen...actually, the one you mention, doesn't sound too bad...certainly a good one to start with...sorry you are having to go through this...is your wife A negative blood by any chance...If she is negative of any type, it may cause her to be slightly more susceptible to infections. Also, as silly as it sounds...putting baby desitin on her feet every night (the original with 40 per cent zinc oxide as the active ingredient) will boost her Lymphs and thus raise her immune function and energy level...plus, it is a nice thing you can do for her...I feel so sorry for caregivers sometimes...in so many ways, watching is worse than experiencing. That is why for years, I tended to push so many people AWAY from me, but now, as you can see with some of my postings on this site, I am trying to resocialize once again. Godspeed to you both, Gina
