FB, I am so sorry you have to find another treatment. I don't like to know you are crying. We will help you to fight. I am sure more knowledgeable ladies will come in this discussion but I will share some thoughts.
I don't think the treatment you have now will start working better if you are progressing after 3 months. What did you have before the 3 month treatment with Tykerb/Herceptin and Xeloda? Did you have another Taxane since Taxotere? It seemed to have worked for you. Navelbine with Herceptin may be another option if you haven't tried it yet? I am sorry if I am asking questions but I do not remember what treatment you had in 2010. It would help to know in order to allow our sister "Brains" to think about treatment options. Hugs. Michka
