    Taxol, Herceptin and Tamoxifen would normally follow AC for a her2neu, hormone-positive cancer?

    I completed 3 months of DD treatments of A/C and my Tumor Markers actually went up.....I did not respond to this treatment, as do many of us Triple Positive girls....Taxol/Herceptin didn't really make much difference for me either....What made the difference for me was Herceptin and Femara and taking natural detox FlorEssence Tea...My markers went down 20 points in one month and did well for year and half...Onc changed me to Aromasin last January and ever since then my Tumor Markers have been slowly going back up....unfortunately just found out went to bone, I think I should not have been put on Aromasin....wasn't strong enough for me....there are still options for you....Being triple positive can be scary because it is more aggressive, but you have more treatment options...Her2 can be treated with Herceptin or Tykerb/Xeloda and Hormonal blockers, I would much rather be on those combinations than Systemic Chemo anyday......Right now I am on Navelbine/Herceptin...hope it works...!
