Switching CellCept (mycophenolate mofetil) for Sirolimus (rapamycin)?

@hello1234 saw doctors today. They were very adamant that I try chemo first. They are going to try meds that aren’t as strong. They want me to do 12 weeks once a week. If I can’t endure it I will stop. I figure I won’t be any worse than I am now. This cancer spreads very fast. My PET showed that it wasn’t anywhere else yet. That is the reason they want me to try chemo. I am still very unsure about all of this.

@rachel5239 It sounds like you have a nice window of opportunity to hit the darn cancer with some chemo before it spreads anywhere. That's wonderful news! Also, the chemo may shrink the breast cancer or resolve it entirely. Is that what the docs are saying?
I think I if I were you, I would start the once a week treatment for 12 weeks immediately. You can always stop, but maybe the 12 week treatment will be just enough to resolve the problem. What is holding you back from starting asap?
