Thank you all for your stories and support. Today is my first post. I was Diagnosed in 10/03, Stage 1, ER PR-, HER2 +. Had double mastectomy, node negative and elected the BCIRG 006 Trial and was fortunate enough to get the leg AC x 4, Taxotere x4 including weekly Herceptin and then 9 more months of Herceptin. I finished end of March. Do you know anyone else in this trial and do you think the outcome will be the same with Taxotere as it was with Taxol?
The other question I have is how do you follow up. My Oncologist says that the only testing I need to do is tumor markers and possible brain MRI's. He says the outcome of finding a reaccurance with symptoms and finding it in a scan is the same. How have you all handled this? It makes me very nervous.
Thank you.
Diane
