Lani- Here is the details on Mom
Hi,
I just saw your post. I have been at Rehab. hosp. w. my mom. She had BC in 03/04 on right side. She was 60 at the time. Had ACT and Herceptin sequentially for 52 weeks. She had port w. no blood return for appr. 8 months, but flushed w. Heparin reg. She was takin 1 mg Coumadin, but was not v. reg. Her stroke is on left side, so ischemic on right brain. I know you are a good researcher, so please see if you can find any other causal factors. Her blood pressure was always elevated but not very much so. They are saying it is combo HTN, cholesterol and prediabetes. But stress and cancer (along w. tx.) is also in my mind. It is hard to see her go through this again. Any info would be helpful.
