Yes Alaska Angel, you hit the nail on the head....
I was asking my onc to add Taxol with my herceptin, instead of just herceptin only. His response was that it provided minimal benefit in my case as I am Her 2+++ ,Srongly ER + 80% and Strongly PR + 90 % (I just inquired about my % yesterday too) For me the jury is still out on my oncoligist. I am just two treatments in, and he & I haven't spent a whole lot of time together. I explained to one of his associates that I want everything available including taxol with my herception. We will see what happens..I still have 2 A/C treatment to do, which will take me to Nov 6th to plea my case. I like all of you ,want to look back later and know that I did all that I could.
I won't give up too easy with my onc, and Becky I will really being looking forward to your next post to do some more reading on the subject.
A million thanks to all of You, and then a million more !
P.S. Sorry if my other post confused anyone
