Michelle,
Sorry to hear your news and I know that around the Holiday season the last thing any of us wants is bad news. I'm not sure if you've tried the Taxene drugs yet - Taxatere, Taxol, and Abraxane. I had good results with Taxatere and am now having good results with Taxol. I'm also taking Carboplatin. Don't worry you are not running out of options -- there are plenty more chemo combos out there. I think it's just a matter of finding out which one and in what combination will work for you. I'll keep you in my prayers.
