HER2/ER/PR positive treatment recommendation

[kanhaiya2]

My mom is diagnosed with Breast Cancer. She is around 62 yrs old with HER2/ER/PR positive. There is no spread of virus except for few LN near collar bone. Dr. recommended Total Mastectomy(done) then 4xAC every 3Wkly + 12xPaclitaxel every wkly along with Herceptin every three week with radiation in parallel with chemo therapy.

Please suggest if there is better way of treatment and various medicine brand for AC(not sure of full name) ,taxol and herceptin. Also need guidance on food that help in eliminating cancer virus keeping diabetic type 2(well in control) in mind.

It would not be possible to comment anything on treatment planning without assessing patient and reports in detail, and which is beyond the scope of this forum.

AC is Adriamycin and Cyclophosphamide. Adriamycin and Epirubicin are from same family, some Oncologists give AC and some give EC. Both are similar.

Diabetes is fine as long as it is under control, no issues with chemo.

No asking for second opinions here, please. This forum is for those little tips and tricks and to share experiences and gain from others. On basis of few lines of text, second opinions are not possible and can even be harmful without seeing and understanding patient and all detailed reports.

Just follow the treatment that your Oncologist suggests. If not sure, meet another Oncologist and take an opinion. We wish luck and pray for your mother that she will be fine soon.
