Hi Adriana,
Sorry to hear your news. How do the docs know you are now resistant to Herceptin? I am certainly hoping for a response as long as you have had! I can't offer advice, but there have been quite a few mentions of Halaven recently - a search of the site should bring up a lot. I haven't heard of Proton therapy.
I hope you have a great response to the new regime, with the targeted Perjeta and not too many side-effects from the Halaven. Let us know how you go.
Best wishes.... Pam
