Thanks everyone for your advice and support,words can't express what a difference it makes.
I feel a lot brighter and more positive tonight, sometimes I think the language that oncs use like 'failed' and 'not cost effective' are demoralising and add an extra burden to an already difficult journey.
I am back in two weeks when hopefully my node status will be known. I then intend to push for an MRI before starting taxotere. I did manage after a hard struggle to get the onc to agree to give me herceptin as well even though she told me it was a waste of money as I had already 'failed' on it. Thanks to the good advice from my sisters here I was well able to put forward the arguments about synergy!
