Hi Chris,
I've been following your posts but unfortunately haven't had answers for you so far. Glad I can finally contribute to your plight if only a little.
I'm currently taking Taxotere once every two weeks with one week off, Xeloda (chemo pill) for 14 days with one week off and Herceptin once every three weeks.
I have no idea why the chemo worked on two of the mets while the others are still growing. I see my oncologist on Thursday and will be sure to ask him about it. We may be changing treatment plans at that time so I will keep you posted on what he says. I've only had three full rounds (nine weeks) so I see this as a great response to the ones that have gone but am worried that I have had such rapid growth on the other two. My first pet was at the end of January and treatments didn't get started till the end of February.
I hope this helps you some and will continue to post what I find out.
Hugs,
Penny
