Dear Linda, I'm so sorry you're feeling this way. I know how this can sneak up on you, but it seems to me there are more drugs to try, and here's a list I "borrowed" from a now unknown site, hope it helps. <3 Lolly



Preferred single agents for the treatment of recurrent or metastatic breast cancer:

Anthracyclines (doxorubicin or epirubicin).
Taxanes (paclitaxel or docetaxel).
Capecitabine.
Vinorelbine.
CAF/FAC - fluorouracil/doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide.
CEF - cyclophosphamide/epirubicin/fluorouracil.
AC - doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide.
EC - epirubicin/cyclophosphamide.
AT - doxorubicin/docetaxel or doxorubicin/paclitaxel.
CMF - cyclophosphamide/methotrexate/fluorouracil.
docetaxel/capecitabine.
Gemcitabine + platinol or carboplatin.
