Theresea - my wife has lungs mets her2+++ er-pr+ (only 10%) - the combination of herceptin and abraxane cut her tumors by 75% in 3 months and then held her steady for 15 months. Also - what about trying Doxil - its similar to AC but a different cell structure that works slightly different.

I hope you find a combo that works - it it all individual at this point (as you know) so keep trying and if you onc won't work with you find another one. My wife and I have been battling for 8 years and we have on more then one ocassion had to be our own doctors and voice our strong opinions. God bless and good luck!
