Dr. Carney,

I have been treated for advanced breast cancer since March 2004. I received palliative radiation to my spine and mediastynime.

I have had the following chemotherepies; carboplatin, taxol, navelbine, and gemsar. Since February 04, I have had monthly zometa treatments. Herceptin was given along with chemo except when I was on a break.

I have been currently on a break from both chemo and herceptin since December 19, 05. I will be on a break atleast until early May unless things start to progress.

My last CT scan showed stable disease with improvement of the pleural effusion.

When would be the most opportune time for me to get the Bayer surum Her2 test?

Thankyou
Lu Ann
