DIAGNOSED WITH A RECURRENCE
I am 42 yrs old residing in India.I was diagnosed with Right CA Breast (2.5cm lump with no nodes)3 yrs back.Right mastectomy with bilateral oophorectomy was done.CAF was later given followed by radiotherapy.I had local recurrences within the first year for which the CAF was given for another 4 cycles.ER negative-however was strted on Tamoxifen.This Jan 2010 I was diagnosed with liver secondaries n CT scan and was given Docetaxol 6 cycles. Now repeat CT scan showes increase in the size of the lesion in liver but without fresh lesions.What would be the next line of management?Is that I didn't respond to the treatment ?

Vasantha - I noticed your post under new topics. I don't have an answer for you,but you may want to repost this in the stage IV section. The women there have an amazing amount of knowledge and I know they will have some answers for you.
I'm glad that you found BC.org - a wealth of knowledge and love on here.
edited to add: I, too am sorry that you are dealing with this.

Hi Vasantha,
Sorry to hear about your liver lesions. I am sure there must be something that you will respond to - as the other ladies said, post it on stage IV forum.
I am a 2 year survivor and went through very rigorous treatment - AC (dose dense) and Taxol and later radiation. Mine was stage III. Where in India are you from? Do you access to a good cancer treatment center? You should go for a second opinion.
I am originally from India but settled in US. Please pm me if you need anything.
Take care,
Desi.

Vasantha: Sorry to hear and see your ordeal of recurrence. I, myself was diagnosed ivasive IIIA stage. Thanks to my Surgeon who has been specialize with Breast Cancer for last 25 years has given me all the choices from local removal to double mastactomy. I went through double mastactomy with tram flap reconstruction. My Lymp nodes were not effected. Next step is for me is going through 6 cycle of Chemotherapy.
Any advice from your experience? you can pm me or email me at fortininers_49@yahoo.com
Take care.... May Lord Shiva will take care of everything.
