Thanks for the wishes and the advice!
Hi,
You have posted in the BC Support Community where answers are provided by BC survivors and other volunteers. It would not be appropriate for us to try to provide specific advice over the Internet about which medications should be used, when she has doctors who have been treating her and know all the details of her case.
I would suggest that your mother discuss the pros and cons of the two chemo protocols with her doctors, and perhaps ask as well about a recent study that showed encouraging results in very advanced breast cancer from a new treatment option, combing Herception and Tykerb. You might also want to post your question in the Chemotherapy Expert Forum.
Best wishes to you and your mother...
