Barb, you're starting yet one more search for the chemo or treatment that will knock out those darn BC cells! I don't know why they haven't given up, they are dealing with the master!
I was sorry to hear your news that the current treatment isn't the right one, but so glad to hear you are working once more to find the good one for you.
I send you prayers and best wishes and many good thoughts for the days ahead. Luv, ma
