Hi Sheila

That was a great video and right in line with my saying -

thanks for making my day (which of late has not been very positive)

My bili has not really taken much of a change and my blood draw from yesterday shows my CEA at 6 , my 27-29 is down to 40. The CEA is more sensitive for me and this number does not make me feel very comfortable.

I am hoping to get on Herceptin this week since I can not get back on the T-DM1 trial due to the bili. But now with the CEA I am wondering if we should not throw in some Tykerb also. I am not due to have a PT scan for another several weeks.

Anyway it was good to see the smiley faces on those women .
