Hello

I am new to the site so please forgive any mistakes in the posting. I am looking for help for my mom who lives in another state and doesn't have a computer.

She had a mastectomy and has stage 2 and was HER2 and Lymph Node positive. She completed 12 wks of AC and is in 8th wkly taxol/herceptin. She has taken several antibiotics for urinary tract infection and now has bacterial infection and was prescribed Citro again and Vagifem. I'm concerned about the Vagifem (because of the estrogen) and the ongoing infections as the antibiotics aren't working. Has anyone else had similiar infection probems? Are they most likely related to the taxol rather than the herceptin?

Thank you for any input.
