I'm so sorry you're going through this! Keep the faith, there IS something out there for you.
Since you did have some response from Taxol, but not Taxotere, maybe Abraxane would be an option? This is the new formulation of taxane, but in a different delivery suspension.The new formulation allows more of the drug to penetrate the cells, at a higher potency & more selective to cancer cells, all with less toxicity. It almost sounds too good to me true, but it is. Ron posted the link on this board.
It's not approved quite yet, but it is available for "Compassionate Use".Your onc would have to petition for it on your behalf.
I hope this info is helpful...there are still many options for you!
Take good care.
