Hi friends,
Since my last recurrence (to my stomach area lymph nodes), I have been on Taxol weekly with no pause. I think maybe 7 weeks now. My onc, when asked, confirmed that I would be on chemo the rest of my life. For those of you unfamiliar with my story, it seems I'm one of those for whom Herceptin doesn't work without a chemo combo. Since this time last year, I've had recurrences to liver, bones, brain and now lymph nodes.
My question is this: have any of you been told this same thing and are you now continuosly on chemo? How are you doing? I'm pretty good, except for the third week when I get Herceptin and Zometa, too. Then I'm a bit sick. I do have increasing neuropathy in my fingers. Need to increase my L-glutomine and vit. b.
I'd appreciate your responses.
Love and light,
Lisa
