Needing Support
Well, I just feel that the rash is getting worse. I called the onc. on Wednesday and talked to him. He said we have to wait from my counts to get back up for new treatment. I won't see him until next Thursday. I know lots of people have gotten good results from Taxotere and Herceptin. I wish I could too.
Another concern is I have my period again and that is causing the breast to swell and the rash to get worse (I believe) because the lymphatic vessels are clogged. Gosh, I need this to turn around soon so that I can have the surgery to remove the breast. The doctors want the rash to shrink before the surgery.
Any suggestions for a next line of treatment?
Hugs,
Tonya
