Hi Ragini; As Lyn says, Abraxane has shown some good results, and some docs are combining Avastin, one of the new anti-angiogenisis drugs, with chemo/Herceptin combos.
I have been lucky to be able to go back to Navelbine for each of my recurrences; I just started it last month for the third time since 2001. My onc says the key is if a drug has provided a good response and if it's been over a year since the last use of that drug it may be effective again. Apparently the cells can "forget" the previous expousure. It's definitely worth exploring with your onc.
