Thankyou all for your replies; it really helps to hear what has worked for others. I will keep you posted. I have a friend who is a doc who wants me to take the cholesterol lowering drug lipitor due to its anti angiogenisis effects as well as whatever else I am on. She is a very clever lady and is a PhD researcher as well. I note that women who are on such drugs have a 52% reduced risk of BC.
I am going to ask for carboplatin based on the latest results from the ASCO updates although I will need to check the avastin results as well; when I heard Dr Slamon speak last year in Melb. he was thought this was the next step.

Regards to all..keep up the good fight.
Jackie
