Re: This wk things could change, I'm nervous.
Chelee,
Thinking of you...As a liver mets gal, I had pain long before my met. I think it is a function of the medications we take and not necessarily the sign of a recurrance. If you markers are looking good that is a great sign and of course a back up by meeting with one of the best Drs. in the country is also a GREAT approach.
You go girl....
I too have wondered about approaches...load up on the chemo and kill the beast or slowly wear him down. Not certain which approach is best. Hopefully, Dr Slamon will have some thoughts in that regard.
Praying for a clean scan for you....Love...Lori
