Joy,
I don't know anything about the pain vs efficacy equaion. Hopefully you are reporting this pain to your onc.
But I am painfully aware of the percentages of things working. I just posted that DM1 update in the articles section and although the percentages for success are "promising", they make no promises. Has SIR spheres been considered? Can you take fulvestrant again now that you are off chemo? Or has the ooph removed any traces of estrogen? Regarding resensitization, there seems to be discussion about low dose estrogen for a brief period to do just that for hormonal treatment. Also, I seem to have heard of some method to resensitize to Taxol but not sure if it is available. You also might be a candidate for Rexin-G. What is your onc saying? Maybe time to get some more opinions?
