Re: new here suggestions welcome
Welcome aboard !!
I am sorry to hear about your situation. However, I think it might be a good idea to try to add a chemo and/or change the Femara to another drug that blocks estrogen that might work better for you. You can find information on various kinds of chemotherapies on our front page at htt://www.her2support.org. Most chemotherapies that are used for breast cancer can be combined with Herceptin and/or another drug called Tykerb which is for her2 breast cancer. There are also other choices besides Zometa for bone mets. You can discuss that with your oncologist and/or a radiologist.
Be sure to get enough calcium, vitamin D and magnesium for your bones too. There have been several postings and discussions about vitamin D in our nutrition forum.
Take good care of yourself and good luck with your treatment.
