Hi Pam~
Taxol + Herceptin was always very effective for me, but I did switch to Abraxane+Herceptin on one occassion when a stubborn liver met recurred.
Unfortunately, A+H didn't work for me, (it could have been b/c the pharmacy had been mistakenly combining the wrong dose of Herceptin w/the Abraxane - I was being given a q3week dose of Abraxane + q1week dose of Herceptin- since the drugs are synergistic, the misdosing could have compromised the efficacy. I was pretty pissed off to find this out after 9 weeks of treatment & losing my hair again!)
So I switched back to Taxol + Herceptin, added Carbo & I was NED again.
I've since had 2 supraclav node recurrences, and each time Gemzer+Herceptin did the charm.
Hope you & your docs can find the right combo for you.
I agree w/Sheila - maybe it's time to bring Herceptin back in the mix?
Hang in there & Keep the Faith~
