Re: It's Not Working! Three Weeks Of Nothing But Side Effects!
Karen,
After reviewing your signature I was thinking along the lines that Michka has suggested. Looks like you have missed out on Carboplatin and the Anthracyclines, both of which can kick Her2's butt. Like Michka, I was noting that Taxol appears to have been a friend to you with the exception of the neuropathy. None of the drugs I have suggested are easy, so I really hate throwing them into the ring, but they do work. Haleven is not an easy one either, but has knocked Her2 on its ass as well.
I am praying you find a combo that is perfect for you. I remain so sorry that you are having to deal with this again.
