I know that Tamoxifin isn't the right drug for ER/PR- --my oncologist mentioned Femara as a possibility, but I read its indications, and it also seems to be targeted to ER/PR+ patients. I just finished chemo and will be done with radiation by mid- to late-August.

Could each of you tell me what you are taking (or did take) after your chemo and radiation treatments? I was going to apply to the vaccine trial at Windber, PA, but I just got my HLA results and they disqualify me. I was really hoping to participate in that trial -- now I feel like there aren't as many options out there.

Recap of my situation:
Diagnosed with large Her2+++ tumor left breast, Stage II or III...late November
December thru mid-February....Herceptin/Taxol/Carboplatin
Excellent tumor shrinkage with the neo-adjuvant chemo
Single mastectomy early March 2005
Stage III confirmed due to tumor size and 5/8 positive nodes
Herceptin/Taxol/Carboplatin....mid-March to mid-June
Radiation planning session tomorrow
Reconstruction slated for March 2006

thanks--I really appreciate your help!
Val
