Re: not good news
Dear Pam,
I am so sorry to hear about this setback. Emotionally processing bad news and then developing next steps has to be one of the most challenging moments in this frustrating, exhausting battle against cancer. But.....trooper you are. There are many more drugs available in addition to the ones you've tried.
JML (?) indicated that Ixempra is working for her....TDM-1 is waiting in the wings. There are clinical trials. Please don't limit the opportunities.
In the meantime....sounds like you have a plan which is huge. I am sure you will get back on track and can build that arsenol again.
Lots and Lots of love coming your way.
