Thank you so much @mcharlesfrancis for sharing that regimen with us! A couple of comments or questions since it's our mutations that drive treatment types. 1. Did you have any metastasis in liver or anywhere else when you began treatment? 2. You didn't have surgery after diagnosis? 3. You don't cite any mutations (previous posts), other than the fact you do not have BRCA or TP53 genes? This is critical, as paclitaxel is not or not always effective for the TP53 gene which is quite common in cancer. I do have the TP53 gene, though my blood biopsy in January said the significance of its base substitution was PROBABLY benign. Since I now have cancer blooming like spring flowers in me, I doubt that it was benign. This is a good regimen for those without TP53; at least I can say that. Thank you so much for sharing.

At the time I had no metastasis and I’ve never had surgery because the mass is 270° by my superior Masonary artery
