MUST DECIDE ASAP-NEED INFO on IXEMPRA and DOXIL Doxil

Hi her2 friends,
Sorry not to have written in a while; I have been dealing with medical issues with me and my family (both parents in the hospital)!
My tumor markers and liver enzymes are galloping now after a little over 5 months on Herceptin/Taxatere/Carboplatin and progression in liver as well! VERY SCARY TIME! My options are:
1. HERCEPTIN/IXEMPRA
2. DOXIL
3. DOXIL/HERCEPTIN.


If some of you knowlegable members, could give me help with these questions I would be SO GRATEFUL!

Regarding these options-
how are the white and platelet blood counts?
is it hard on liver, increased liver enzymes
how about digestive problems?
how about neuropathy?

anyone on Doxil plus Herceptin? ( I know there is increased possible cardio risk.)

Hearing from you, will give me insight in these meds and hope in this HARD, TRYING TIME, the HARDEST since met diagnosis, several years ago!
