anyone else fail her2+ treatments rather quickly?

When I was first diagnosed, I had all the hope in the world for the herceptin/ perjeta combo I was being put on... it failed two months after the taxotere was dropped.. next, they tried adding navelbine to the herceptin/perjeta and some areas shrunk and others flourished.. finally, I thought kadcyla would do the trick, and it did only for four lousy months.. is this a sign of things to come? Has anyone else tested her2+ more than once, yet failed these new treatments but eventually had something work?
