Wink Re: Need some help...

I am sorry you are having a rough time.
Have you considered Tykerb with a chemo?
The reason I mentioned Tykerb is that the dose can be adjusted on a daily basis if you are having alot of problems.
If you can't take Navelbine and Herceptin maybe Abraxane (usually less side effects than Taxol) or Xeloda (a daily dose adjustment might be possible)would help?
Some of our members are taking Halaven which seems to be effective for them, but I don't know how that affects the lungs.
There is a drug that is being used by some bc patients called Metforam. I am not sure of the spelling, but it was developed for diabeties. I think recent testing showed promise for her2 positive estrogen positive breast cancer.
I wonder if some of the older chemos would work too?
I wonder if adding calcium, vitamin D and magnesium to the Zometa would help?
I am just throwing some things to think about out there.
In the meantim take good care of yourself. I have my fingers crossed for you too.
