Hi Amy
That's good to know. I might be wrong but it seems here that once tried and failed - that's it!

Perjeta is still a trial drug here -only 2 out of 15 left on this trial which started 4 1/2 years ago. The 1st Lady ( numerous mets) on trial still doing ok but now getting really bad side effects. The other Lady ( bone mets only) doing really well at nearly 4 years. It will be interesting to see if Health Board take this drug on!
Abraxane is paclitaxel here - another I've not heard much about.
I beginning to wonder which drugs are actually available here!

Re my Ct results- I was surprised by response. Didn't expect that result!
