I am sorry to hear you are having more challenges. I hope you get approval for Pertuzamab in combination with something else like Herceptin or Taxol.
Maybe it is not the Taxotere failing. Has anyone thought that Herceptin might not be working to its full potential.
I would also ask about a Tykerb in combination with other chemos besides Xeloda like with Taxol, or Abraxane or Navelbine or Iempra. There might be some good synergy between Tykerb and one of these other chemos.
keep fighting Sheila. Take good care of yourself.
