Hi Tracey
That is such disappointing news for you but I'm sure there are still heaps of options. As you know I have had very similar lung probs to you.One treatment to think about might be monthly Faslodex injections. My onc was very keen and I had 2 before having a rare allergic rxn. The problem is we have to pay for the first 3 injections and they are $600 each and then they're free from AstroZeneca. For some reason we only get half the dose that patients are now approved for in other countries, but it means one injection (one buttock!) rather than 2. It might be worth asking your onc about. I sarted MMM chemo last week to try and get my lung disease under better control - I'll be sure to let you know how successful it is over the next few weeks. Fingers crossed! Xeloda has been mentioned as another option for me too.
