What's the chance I went from her2 neg to positve?

[judiek]

Hello Again,

I made it through the brain MRI and the result was clear. I wasn't so luck on the ct of the liver. I have new lesions and the old ones are bigger. I want to ask my onc to have me retested for her2. The last time I was checked was in Jan of 2004 when dx with mets. They used the FISH test and it came out 1+. I know he is going to tell me that it's a slim chance that I am now her2 positive. Have any of you been restested and found yourself to be positive after a dx of negative. Also, I thought I read on this board that tykerb may work if your her2 is 1+. Anyone recall this. Thanks again for your input

I have had
FEC
taxol/avastin/arimidex/xeloda/navelbine/gemzar.

I'm so bummed as gemzar was so easy for me.

I was hoping that maybe we could add one of the platin drugs to the gemzar. I see the onc on the 18th to talk about tx options.

Thanks again,

Warmly,

Judiek
