Hi Kristen; I think it's true that Avastin isn't approved for BC YET, but there are trials ongoing. It is approved for colon cancer but an oncologist CAN use a drug, that's approved for a particular use, for other types of cancer if they want to go "off protocol". A lady at my treatment center is getting it for BC mets along with another chemo. So it depends on the doctor.
I'm ER/PR- so I'm not up to speed on the hormone options, but I know someone will post who knows more about it.
Keep your chin up, you're doing a great job advocating for your mom!

<3,
Lolly
