Stage IIB ER/PR- Her+++,1 of 12 nodes pos., grade 3 diagnosed 11/05


My treatment consisted of dose dense 4 A/C 4 Taxol Herceptin added at 2nd taxol then continued for 1 year. Dose dense can be tough, you barely have time to recover & they hit you again but my oncologist said it seems to be slightly more effective. The taxol was easier than the A/C and comparatively Herceptin is a breeze.

I am sorry about the employment issues your mom is facing you will find excellent information here and even better support.
