So my mom is Her 2+, ER+/PR-, post metpausal and she is on Herceptin currently. She had two treatments of Abraxane back in July, but then stopped due to surgery she needed to have. She decided not to go back on chemo cause her markers are now in the normal range, 201 dropped to 34. Either those two Abraxane treatments really worked great or it's the Herceptin. Anyway, I asked the onc to put her on hormone therapy and she keeps saying no b/c she is PR- and it only works for people ER+PR+. I brought her the news on Arimedex showing good results for ER+PR- and she still won't put her on it. She is all about chemo only!!! My mom is tried of chemo and needs a well deserved break, she is doing the Herceptin but I wanted to try hormones also to keep her tumors undercontrol. I also asked about Avastin and she said it is not approved yet for bc in the states, is this true???? Anyone in a similar situation regarding hormone therapy.
Thanks, Kristin
