Dear Yanyan,

I'm so sorry about this news. It must be terrifying to face it. I have lung mets too, so it's also kind of personal for me.

Sometimes drug combinations work when a single drug didn't. There can be synergistic effects.

I've been on Abraxane, Herceptin and Perjeta for almost 6 months. It's a bitch, but it also seems to be eradicating my cancer (for now.) After years of slow progression and/or ambiguous scans I had an "almost NED" result in October. Maybe that will happen for you.

I think of you as a dear companion and friend on this weird journey. Whatever you decide, I will love and support you.

Amy
