Does anyone have neck lympth node involvement?

[Nathan]

Hello.* I'm* 46 years young and I have a question about my wife's cancer*and was wondering if there is anybody else like me.* My wife was originally diagnosed in 2001 with Stage 3c, HER2+, Estrogen+, Progesterone-, breast cancer with 13 of 15 lympth nodes testing positive.* She had a radical mastectomy followed by AC/Taxotere chemotherapy, and radiation.* This put her in remission for 5 years until last December when it recurred.* She now is Stage 4 with metastices to her bones, liver and lymph nodes in her neck.* She*started undergoing chemo 3 months ago* (Gemzar and Carboplatin) as well as Herceptin.* The treatments aren't working as determined by CT scan recently and we are about to switch to something else.* The problem my wife is having is that her lymph nodes in her neck are filled with tumor that is basically and slowly strangling her.* She is always tired and nauseated even during her off week from chemo treatments. If you have a similar case, I'd love to hear from you.* The only way that I've been able to hold up through this is from the support of friends, family, my faith in God and my two young children ages 10 and 6.* This has been a terrible 6 years to stand by and helplessly watch this horrible disease happen to your soulmate of twenty years.
