Good news
 

I saw my oncologist on Tuesday, and we made the decision to start halaven on this coming Tuesday, April 26. I considered all the good suggestions received here, and am feeling good about going forward with halaven. I still can't believe the approval came through so quickly (even that it came at all!) The oncologist is trying to get it for another lady, and it has taken 2 months so far for her, and still no approval. I feel so grateful and hopeful about starting it. I'll let you know how it all goes! Thank you all so much for suggestions, kind thoughts and prayers! Love and hugs, TriciaK

I am keeping my fingers crossed that Halaven will be your miracle drug until we can all get some T DM1.
Take good care of yourself.
