Hi, I was diagnosed July 13 2012 with stage IV breast cancer with Mets to bones. I was on Tamoxofin for 6 weeks, had  a hysterectomy October 10 2012 and was switched to Arimodex. My recent scans show my spinal tumors have doubled in size. My doctor wants to start me on Xeloda 2 weeks on, 1 off. I feel like IV chemo would be stronger. Bottom line, I am looking for a second opinion. Can anyone help with a federal to a good aggressive oncologist at U of Chicago? Thanks so much.

    tracybucci, so sorry your bc has spread.  Though I live very near U of C, I go elsewhere for treatment.

    You may find help if you post on the forum:    Help Me get Through Treatment, Illinois Ladies w bc  

    http://community.breastcancer.org/forum/6/topic/504025?page=862#idx_25853

    Not all ladies state where they are treated, but someone may be at U of C.  Several of them go to Rush and Northwestern.  

    Have you posted this question on the Stage IV forum?  Someone there may also be of more help.  Very few on Illinois Ladies are Stage IV.  I hope this helps a little.
