Have you taken a combo of chemo & hormonals?

Hello Ladies,

I would like to know how many of you are/were on chemos with hormonals at the same time, or just chemos alone. (In this case, Herceptin is not a chemo.) So, when you poll your answer, please kindly list the meds that you are/were taking.

I was told that there was bad synergy of chemos & hormonals, per research studies (mentioned by my onc & onc nurse practitioner). Say, if I were to begin on Xeloda, I would have to stop my hormonal therapy, due to the poor synergy. However, I would be able to continue on Herceptin, since this is not actually a chemo, anyway; it is simply immunotherapy. So, I am just confused about the combo of chemos & hormonal therapies, as I recall hearing about many ladies taking on a combo of chemo(s) & hormonals.

I would appreciate what your onc's say about this. Please let us know, if you do come across any sources on this topic. I would be interested in reading them. Thanks! :-)

Blessings ~ JO.
