Hi

After hearing your history i feel your sister in law is suffering from stage 4 breast cancer.

I would advise you to continue 3 more doses of chemothearpy.

Also she needs to to blood tumour marker test for breast cancer such as 15-3 (CA 15-3), cancer antigen 27.29 (CA 27.29), and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA)

I will also advise her to go for Hormone therapy and targeted therapy such as trastuzumab (Herceptin) and pertuzumab (Perjeta).

Regards

DR DE
