Hi Sheila,
I am sorry to hear about your progression, but I also feel that you deserve a break from the difficult chemos. The Herceptin MCC DM1 trial is getting very good results. Read my previous posts. For many people the side effects are not much worse than Herceptin alone. In addition, you would get your hair back. I would encourage you to try and get into this trial and it may give you a very good quality of life. You will have to be off all treatment for a few weeks to get into it.
Good luck,
Barbara H.
