Dear Theresa -- I really admire you. Thank you for talking so frankly about something we all will face -- BC or no BC. I hope the xeloda and tykerb will knock back your lung mets, as you put it, and you will be surprised by life!!! Otherwise, I know that with the help of hospice, you will do well. I've been thinking about death myself. We don't remember when we were born, but most of us will participate in our dying. I guess we want to do it as well as possible. We are all overachievers here!! God bless. Looking forward to hearing more from you.
