Tammy, maybe you need to add chemo to your tx. My ca15-3 was 345 at it's peak before rad. tx, then 111 after rad., 21 after taxol, carbo, zometa, and herceptin. Then doc took me off of taxol and carbo after 6 months. I was put on navelbine along with zometa and herceptin and markers started to rise. We switched to gemsar, her, zom, and they rose more. I'm up to 117 so we are switching again to xeloda, her, and zom. We just might be the patients who need chemo with herceptin and zometa. I've been in the pit and never want to go back even for a visit. Take care and God Bless You, Lu Ann.

Thank you

I could just kiss you guys Kim & Lu ann thanks for posting back...This pit stinks!!! I really do believe that God is seeing me through this however as soon as my gaurd is relaxed a bit the other "guy" steps in to do his handy work! I hate that, I love that we have this board to vent and encourage and just to build eachother up! Thanks so very much.
Tammy
