Mel,
You came to the right place, hope we don't overwhelm you though.
A could place for info is any of the cancer websites, of course. But for personal experience, you can't beat this board!!!!
Go with your mom to the dr and be her eyes and ears. Right now she is probably unable to grasp anything because of the shock. When you first find out the cancer has spread, you go into a panic.
There are lots of chemos out there. One of the best combos is taxotere/carboplatin combined with herceptin. There has been alot of success with Navelbine and herceptin. It's important she have ALL scans done so that the dr's know exactly what they are dealing with and they have something to measure. Please note, no chemo (including herceptin) can pass the brain blood barrier, so brain mets will be a whole other animal.
ASK LOTS OF QUESTIONS and post here often. There is alot of experience available to you here.
We will be praying for you
