Chelee,
Knowing my treatment may help you. I'm going to the #1 rated oncologist in Kansas City, Mo., rated by The Squire. The Squire asks Greater Kansas City physicians to select the Best in various specialties. Physicians were asked "If you or your family needed treatment, which physician would you choose in the following specialties?"
DX 4/7/06
ER PR -
IIIC
Her2+++
tumor 5+ cm
positive lymph nodes underarm and collarbone
Treatment: 12 weeks Herceptin and Taxol (On my 10th week and the Dr. is so very impressed that the tumor is shrinking!)
8 weeks every other week Adriamycin and Cytoxan
surgery
after surgery 6 weeks radiation
then 1 year Herceptin (not sure if the 12 weeks done 1st will count towards this)
Since I'm not ER or PR + there will be some drugs that are different.
