Re: Progression in Lung Mets - Advice?

Hi Honey,
What a kick in the gut; and on your birthday --- UGH! Where is the justice?!
I am sorry I don't know what chemo is best; I suspect your onc is up on the most recent recommended for lung and liver mets. I had good luck with Navelbine and Herceptin; but that was 5 1/2 years ago.
I would like to encourage you to look into a tri com vaccination trial....like this one, perhaps
http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/sh...ination&rank=3

or google the tumor vaccine group in Seattle and see what they are trialing now.
Good for you for coming right back at it with a fight.
Now go out and have some chocolate, then get back in the saddle.
We are all right there with you. Please keep us posted.
Love Kim from CT
