I have switched oncs because of this problem. Some are so focused on destroying cancer in your body and do not understand the qualith of life aspect. They don's see you as a whole person.
Are you on Herceptin and another chemo. drug? If you are stable maybe you could just do Herceptin and drop the other one and see how you do. I am doing that. After a year of weekly Herceptin/navelbine I am stable so we are taking abreak from navelbine. Now, I only have to get treated with Herceptin every three weeks, a much easier schedule. If I need to, I will go back on the weekly navelbine, and switch when that no longer works.
For me this is a safe chemo break. I still get herceptin but it has no side effects. Unless you are having life threatening symptoms from the cancer, you deserve a break. Get a second opinion if necessary!
Feel better.
