2 sites of cancer with different HER2 result?

[Guest guest]

HI Everyone,

My mom has brest cancer in her liver and then over the holidays, they

confirmed it was in her other breast. Opposite from the original

diagnosis.

Just found out last week that the breast biopsy showed it was HER2nu

in the breast was positive, so she will be adding herceptin to her

Taxotere treatments.

Has anyone else had different pathology results from different cancer

spots? Her liver biopsy was HER2nu negative. and brest was a low

positive.

We don't meet with the oncologist til next thursday.

Some other questions. When reading about herceptin on the there

website, it mentions they give the drug every week for 52 weeks.

Others, is that the dosing schedule your on?

My mom has taxotere every week (its a lower dose than the 1 every 3

weeks, I understand they are doing the lower dose because of the

cancer in her liver). Now, the herceptin will be once every 3 weeks?

Any opinions re advice?

Thanks,

Connie
