Scan results - change of treatment
Well, I saw my oncologist on Thursday and go the results of my scan back. Scan showed slight progression. She suggested that I go back on the Taxol/Carboplatin with Herceptin but since it really affect my QOL I asked what other options we had. I will begin Abraxane in two weeks when I go for my next Herceptin treatment. I will get the Abraxane every 3 weeks so at least I won't have to be at the infusion center every week. I just hope this will put a halt to my lung mets.
