Theresa-
I have been thinking about you.
I don't know whether my er-//pr- status changed from initial diagnosis to mets, so I can't answer that part. But you and I are so close in what hasn't been working, and I am now on abraxane (had to stop the tykerb due to losing weight from diarhhea), and the abraxane seems to be helping!! Please know that we each reaspons differently to the different taxanes, and while taxotere stopped working for me, the abraxane is dealing with things differently.
Can you still look into that?? I hope so! Please keep us posted...
Kind regards,
