Ladies - thanks for the warm welcome. The trial I am about to start officially begins tomorrow, so I will pick up my pills on Monday. My Onc seems pretty excited about it, so I have my fingers crossed.

Another question - I see some woman have been staged at IV because of mets to the neck nodes??? My onc calls this a local recurrence and not stage IV. However, I guess this is semantics and some say tomato, while others say tomahhhhto. LOL

Anyways...I plan on kicking the you-know-what out of this beast. Lots of things in the arsenal to try.

Cary - LOL!!! Yes, very much like Target!

Flori - You go to cedars too? My onc is Sarna, and Silberman did my bi lat - I am going to alsk him for a refund when I see him again! :-)

Well thanks again for the welcome and how do you get the pic to the side?
