Hello -
Sorry to hear you have this damn disease, but there can be good outcomes.
I am living proof that Taxol can be a good defense against Her2 positive cancer. I took 27 weekly doses to get rid of major liver mets. This was in combination with Navelbine and Herceptin.
There is a new form of Taxol called Abraxane, which is supposed to be much less hard on the nerve endings and have fewer side effects in general. You can easily look up this drug name. My med onc said if I needed to fight again he would put me on that.
My story is in the Stories section of this site, if you want to know more.
