More Chemo or Surgery

Donna-
I'm so sorry you have to go through this again.I have a couple of suggestions that may be helpful, especially since you are unsure about which chemo to try next...there's a test called a "chemo-sensitivity assay".They test different chemo combos on a biopsied sample of the tumor.It's a better indicator of which combos do NOT work (vs. what will work)that way you're not wasting time on a combo that you don't respond to.Also, has anyone suggested Neo-Adjuvant chemo?That's doing chemo first/before surgery to shrink the tumor so that you may be able save your breast.It also allows you to see your response to the chemo combo.
I hope this info is helpful.Please keep us posted how your doing.
Keep the faith & take good care,
Jessica
