You say you are somewhat ER positive. After all these "anti HER2" treatments, maybe you are a lot more positive. Have you tried anything for ER? Maybe adding in something like that will help - maybe even help alot. Maybe its those cells that were the survivors thru all this.

What about Havolen? Just thinking out loud here. But Doxil or AC is also a good choice but you cannot receive Herceptin concurently with those because together the potential heart issues increases.
