My sister is 56 and diagnosed with breast cancer. She had a lumpecdomy 2 years ago on her right side and now she has it on her left side. Two different kind the dr. told her. I have not been in the dr. visits. She has been told 6 chemo (1 every 21 days) of 4 different meds (Perjeta, Herceptin and 2 others) then 6 more of Herceptin then radiation and then maybe surgery. She was released from the hospital yesterday for Neutropenia (no infections), just fever and abnormally low (almost 0) wbc count. She was and still is very dizzy and I'm wondering why her dizziness has gotten worse instead of better. The gave antibiotics and sent her home with some as well as a needle for the neutropenia. I need help understanding.
