Is it harder to treat ER/PR+ with Her2?

[Cathya]

I have been working on a plan for myself which involves taking Arimidex daily (for the ER/PR+), supplements, herceptin and having tumor markers taken just before each herceptin treatment. In this way I hope to be able to catch any cancer growth early on and fight it into submission. However, while herceptin aided with supplements can control the her2 side of things, the hormones could be feeding the cancer on the other side of things. Then today I read about brain mets for her2 types and how they are a real threat as herceptin doesn't cross the blood/brain barrier. It seems to me that the hormone negatives would be better off in this case than the hormone positives. I am happy for all the hormone negatives but wondering how to take the hormone +ivty into my action plan. Yes, supplements and arimidex but what markers, etc. plus how do you cut out more hormones especially post menapausal??

Best regards to all,
