Is there anyone that has a reocurance after 6 months after chemo end? I think it is very very early isn't it? Please help...

    Vivo...that does seem early, and grossly unfair. I could be wrong, and if I am I hope no one hits me over the head but instead gets it correct, but I think HeatherB had her re-occurrance just 6 months after she finished her first treatment. Hopefully you will get more accurate information from someone here...stay strong!

    Read my signature line below.  I had a recurrence while still in active treatment for my initial dx of IDC.  Had AC x 4 and then 12 weekly Taxol with concurrent Herceptin.  After the 12 weeks, Herceptin continued every 3 weeks.  Then took 30 rads treatments.  While still taking radiation, and only 6 weeks after my last infusion of Taxol, my IBC rash started appearing.

    Hi Vivo -- yes, it happens.  I was just finishing up my year of Herceptin (also on Tamox and ovaries suppressed) and had my first PET/CT.  I had plans lined up to celebrate the end of treatment only to find the liver mets had come back with a fury.  The next month it had hopped to my spine.  It is a horrible thing to have happen, but you buckle up and get on the next treatment.  So far so good...
