Carolyn-
if you didn't progress while on one of the taxanes, maybe you will get one of those again. after i progressed while on xeloda (but for 17 months), i was put on navelbine/herceptin/avastin (but only because the taxanes were not an option for me). i'm sure there are other combos as well...
good luck w/ things,
