I am ER+ but less than 5% + for PR (and some oncos will say that is negative). I am on Arimidex (and Herceptin).

Secondly, I have a chemo friend who is Her 2+ and ER +, diagnosed 5 yrs ago Stage 4 inflammatory and she is on Avastin, Herceptin,Arimidex, Taxotere and Zometa. She is doing well. She got the Avastin originally at the Mayo clinic about 2 years ago. Her onco here (another Dr. in the practice I go to) would not give her Avastin so she would go to Houston to get it every week. After the phase I clinicals showed some positive results, the onco here gave her the Avastin (so check around as some oncos will give it if there are at least some results that are good and you are stage 4).

Best regards

Becky
