Hello,
I also did Taxol but I had it once a week instead of every 3 weeks and I believe this is more tolerable. There is a lot of fatigue but I had no nausea.
What about Avastin. This has been re-introduced because it does seem to work for our type of bc.
Have they tried TDM1 - now called Kadcyla. This has been considered a miracle drug for us the way Herceptin was. I believe it's a sort of super Herceptin that works better and is for people for whom Herceptin stopped working.
Maybe start a new thread asking what to suggest when Herceptin stops working.
ps not that this is a cure but it can help: take tumeric aka curcurmin and vitamin D - check them our but seems to have good influences but we're all different.
Also you didn't mention why the herceptin stopped working - was it progression or heart problems?
Don't forget to take care of yourself also.
hugs
