Hi Michka
I think the problem we ALL have is that as yet we do not have a sophisticated enough analysis of which drugs will work for which subsets of patients.
I agree with Sheila though that navelbine has worked well for many and is less toxic than some others.Certainly Sherry and Kim have stayed NED after having this and been maintained on herceptin.
Keeping fingers and toes crossed for a good outcome.
