hello Jane. First of all do not loose hope. i have gone through your details. You still have more treatment left. First of all you should undergo some tests on your tumor tissue to know again the receptor status( ER PR and HER-2 receptor as we call them). after that appropriate therapy once again can be planned. Herceptin drugs needs to be continued. There are other drugs from the same group as herceptin is; it can be combined with herceptin to produce additive effect. More over better chemo drugs with less side effects are available. You can discuss all these options with your physician. Hope you understand.
Thanks
