Dear Cathy and Judie,
thank you very much for your posts, Cathy I will print up these articles....I have been on Herceptin as a single agent for many months (although disease progressed during this time), mostly between the time of my last positive nodes and the new mets in Jan...really thought it was working as a preventative...I have spoken to my onc about Lapatinib and I am really pushing him for it, will also speak to him today about Avastin..... really thank you for your help
Judie (are you the same one from BC support website - Recurrences?) I have just had CT scan which shows that there isnt any fluid in the lungs, just larger tumours (there were only 2 small ones in Jan) plus a number of 'new infiltrates'...it also appeared that I had a lung infection (productive cough with green phlem - sorry thats really awful of me I know) and my doc has given me antibiotics. The cough now seems very dry and is just a hacking type that really wears me out....
thank you very much - Im popping in to the office this morning and then will go to the hospital late morning for my chemo.
hugs and prayers
gillian
