My mother from Kolkata aged 55, is a cancer patient since 2003. she was operated and her right breast was removed completely. After dat she received 6 cycles of chemotherapy and 22 radiation. Her cancer recurred again in 2014 in the same area right side chest wall and lymph node. Again she was given 6 cycles of chemo with 10 cycles of herclon. She was having lots of side effects so we put her on homeopathy medicine as suggested by someone. Since 2015 she was on homeo medicine. She started having problems again so we did a pet CT which confirmed her disease once again as recurrence of local disease. Biopsy reports of right chest wall mass shows adenocarcinoma in keeping with duct carcinoma. With ER positive PR negative. HER 2 neu positive 3+.waiting for your valued suggestions.

Because its a hormone positive case start hormone therapy Fulvestrant or there is a combination of Exemustine and Evrolimus. Third line there is a new drug called Palbase which is having good Results with less side effects for ER positive tumors. Better to avoid pure chemotherapy as they are having much side effects.
