My name is Amelia, schoolteacher. I live in Georgia, and I was diagnosed with breast cancer at the first of December. I am Estrogen Postive 77, Herceptin +++ and Progestron +1. My tumors were 3.8 and larger. I have take two AC treatments and the tumors did not go down any, so my doctor changed me to Taxol and Herceptin. One reason he changed me was he suspects I have cancer nodes starting on the skin of breast. I was wondering if any of you have ever taken estrogem suppression with neoadjuvant therapy. I took examples of some of the chemos some of the women on this site have used to shrink their large tumors and showed them to him and asked if they were a possibility. Two or three women had used texatore, some drug that begins with a c, and herceptin. These women reported that their tumors shrank and some disappeared. When I showed him these treatments, he said they might be trials. Will someone please let me know if they are trials? I have gathered information on using estrogen suppression as neoadjuvant therapy. If any of you have used this please let me know. I have chemo flog really bad this after, so if I made any mistakes in my typing please disregard.
