Original dx in Nov. 02, AC and Taxotere, mast., then rads which ended late August. Clear bone scan in mid-October.
Surprise, surprise - now dx with liver and bone mets. Also very short of breath (just in last week or so). Some pleural effusion - will see about draining. ??
Will start Herceptin/ Navelbine/Zometa on Tuesday. Ironically, I asked onc about Herceptin at first follow-up. He said no since there was "no data to support" its use if no mets. I told him yesterday, Now I get Herceptin, right? And he said yes!
Anyone had any side effects from this combo - or individually?
Just had an MRI of spine this morning since I have a lot of back pain.
Thanx for advise, encouragements, etc. etc. etc.
