Irene,

I have been on Abraxane, Herceptin, and Zometa since April 2005. Previous chest CT scans show stable lung tumors but I still have radiation pnuminitis. The greratest side effect form Abraxane is servere neuropathy on hand and feet. Also have bouts of diharrea and cramping. Despite all these side effects I will stay on Abraxane because I have failed 7 chemos before this. Onc has lowered dose of Abraxane previously. Next scans are next month I will update you. Hope
