Lisa, Hello; When I was first diagnoised the cancer had spread to my liver. It was one small spot at that location. So I began chemo in 11/04; that is when I started the herceptin / taxol / carboplatin regiment; I did that until the end of Feb 05; Once I had a clear Pet Scan my onc. had me continue on herceptin only every 3 weeks. By May I could feel another mass on my breast right above the original mass; had another pet scan at the end of May which confirmed I had a reoccurence; My onc wanted me to start the regiment again but I did not want that same regiment of chemo. So she started me on Navelbiene with herceptin every other week. I stayed on this regiment through Nov. .. I had a clear Pet scan in Nov. so I now do the regiment every 3 weeks. Will have another scan in Mar.
Thanks and God Bless,
Debbie
