I'm sorry that the TDM1 didn't work out for you. I see that you were on Navelbine in the past, but have you been on it along with the Herceptin? I have been on this combo for the last 2+ year and there seems to be some synergy when they are taken together (at least for me). This is a very tolerable combination (with my biggest problems being low white counts). I don't know if Navelbine causes liver issues, so you might want to check that out.
