Kathy - I was astounded reading your post on how elegant, articulate and calmly you wrote about this news. I don't think I'd be able to form a sentence. You must have strength of iron. That said, I agree with everyone that there are so many more meds options and it's not the time to 'make your list' but to aggressively research better options & treatments for you. I'll be watching the posts for your news of that!
I have a little over a month's worth of tykerb that I can't use as my treatment was switched & I'd already received the tykerb. I know it's not much - only a month, but you're welcome to have them if that's an option. I was told to flush them down the toilet as they can't be returned, but I can't do that -- to much $ - if I can find someone who can use them.
Keep up your great spirit and love of life.
