I want to thank each and everyone of you for the wonderful words of concern and support. Pink Girl I love the new picture! I truly don't know what I would do without this wonderful group of men/women. You are truly the best! When I was first told I'd go on Tykerb/Xeloda my heart dropped to my stomach and I thought here we go -- out of options. Now that I've had a few days to digest I feel much more confident. I still know there are plenty of options out there for me but I think right now we need this treatment plan. I will get to NED!
