Setbacks occur. Age 40 Dx 12/03 5cm invasive HER2+ ER+ lobular/ductile with 2 liver spots (4 & 3 cm) and 3 bone spots.
10 weeks Taxol/Herceptin CT scan clear. 20 weeks taken off chemo with weekly maintenance Herceptin.
This week (5 months later) CT scan revealed same liver nodes growing back, plus several new nodes in lungs, smallest 11 mm and largest 2 cm.
Back on Taxol/Herceptin adding Carboplatin to the mix today. Onc is making me do full 6 months this time, then adding Tamoxefin/Herceptin
as maintenance. I am looking forward to blasting this away once again!
Hopefully I will have a longer remission next time.
Hugs & warm wishes for continued good health to all,
Beth
