Hi although I have not had bone mets I have been on Taxotere before on its own, and Herceptin and Navelbine together. When I finished the taxotere after a month it was back but the Her/Nav got rid of it, that was quite a time ago now and I am now having rads for it back in my neck again, I have had success with radiation before. My uncle has just been treated for an incurable white melonoma with a small spot on the lung, that was successful but now back in his spine, liver and lungs. He has the same onc as me eventhough we are thousands of miles apart. His first treatment is radiation to the spine, he will have 10 doses then they will access the rest of the problems, it started this week. Apparently the radiation takes a while to take effect also as it keeps on working for ages eventhough you are not aware of it, so hopefully you may just be a bit slow on the uptake.
Hugs Lyn
