If you can swing it, seems prudent to keep up the Her2 blockade. I can't remember the access to TDM1 issues. You could add Xeloda in at a lower, continuous, metronomic dose. Same for Cyclophosphamide. Xeloda and Gemzar seem good in pretreated patients. Gemzar and Abraxane too. Weekly seems best. Docetaxel is still there too. If you have an easy spot to needle biopsy, might be a good time to see what's what. You may be ER+ after extended Her2 therapy. That would open up that whole side of things. I've even read high dose antiestrogens can have effect on technically ER negative patients. Ramping gradually up to 20mg Melatonin at night would likely help. Mainline some green or white Tea or get some capsules. Heard only good things about that. Same with Milk thistle.
