Oh Joy! I am saddened to hear of this latest scan, but in my heart I feel that your Onc will come back from Texas with new ideas and perspectives regarding the next steps to take.
I. too, am progressing on Avastin/Abraxane. I have done well on Navelbine/Xeloda but eventually failed that also. My Onc is also going to Texas to see what can be done next. I have been on everything except Gemzar at this point. She is looking for a new trial. There is always hope out there. Please know that, Joy. Cry and feel sad, you are entitled to that, and then put your face to the sun and take one step at a time. I am bald for the 3rd time (funny how that is so important to all of us) and wanting my hair back. It is a miracle that I am still here...and with that said, MIRACLES happen everyday. I am praying for you and good news from Texas for all of us. The support you have will carry you far and hold you closely, deeply, safely on your journey. Help is on the way. There are so many new treatments and trials coming...so many more now than ever before. You are in my prayers and always have been. I'm sending you truckloads, airplanes, balloons filled with love and hope and encouragement and friendship. You are my sister and I love you very much. Vickie
