370414 -        initially in the cervical lymph nodes 03/03/04.  On E2100 study
370415 -        with avastin but she had a PE noted on CT 11/03/04.  Then
370416 -        because of progression of disease, the patient was started on
370417 -        taxotere and Xeloda 04/15/05.  She had a total of 8 cycles
370418 -        ending 09/16/05.  She had a palliative left mastectomy
370419 -        performed 10/21/05.  Then her left chest lesions began
370420 -        expanding again.  The patient started on taxotere and Xeloda

370423 -        only (no carboplatin) arm.  She had weekly carboplatin added
