Dear Anna,
Ask about other Herceptin/chemo. combonations. Herceptin seems to work well synergistically with other drugs. There are many out there. Herceptin and a taxane? I assume you are getting Zometa monthly for your bones. That worked well to heal my numerous small bone lesions and the weekly combo. of herceptin and navelbine stablized my mets in lung and liver.
Is your only met in a bone? That gives you a better prognosis than many of us here. You will be there for your girls!
If you are in a lot of pain from the bone met, I have heard they do radiation on the spot. BUT, I have also heard that is very hard on your immunity. I guess it kills your bone morrow or something and this could make it difficult for you to get more chemos. down the line if your cancer progresses elsewhere.
From one mother to another, wishing you years and years and years to nurture those kids,
Isabelle
