My husband failed on the T/X and had great progression while on it. After WBR and a chemo regime of A/C (on #5=8-9 total treatments) things are better for him. Try not to lose heart, listen to the responses from the friends here. Hopefully they can arm you with questions and ammo that you can take to the doctor's with you both. There are many options and we are now finding out that previous drugs are still options too. We too had great hope for the T/X treatment and it was disheartening to watch it fail. We too felt out of options, it weighed heavy on our hearts. Au contrarire...there are options and new trials. Best of luck to Mom and a special prayer for you and these tribulations. For now I will keep Mom in my prayers with hopes for relief.>>Believe51
