Colon and Breast Cancer at the same time
Dear All,
My mother was recently diagnosed with colon (Stage: IIIB) and breast cancer (Stage: II, HER2+). She is 53 years old. She will start her chemo as soon as she heals from her colon resection. Her medical oncologist will put her to Herceptin for the breast and CapeOx (Capecitabine+Oxaliplatin) for the colon. What is your opion about this treatment program?

Sorry about your mom. We can't really give you opinions of her treatment plan. You can always get a 2nd or even more opinions. It is more complex treating 2 active cancers at the same time so hearing if there are other options is reasonable.It also depends if they are separate cancers or colon is metastatic from breast. Good luck.
