Oh Pam,
I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry for how discouraged you must
feel right now, how frightened, and frustrated!
Please hang in there, keep the faith.
You have a new treatment plan & once you step onto that
path and see that there are still options that can work for you
you'll find your optimism again.

Don't forget about Ixempra/Herceptin as an option in your arsenal. After 2 cycles (3 weeks on/1 week off)the 4cm soft tissue met by my bellybutton that was so easily palpable, as well as deeper mets in the nodes in my belly, are barely distinguishable now. It has been a tough treatment, but it's working, and this 2nd cycle has actually been more tolerable as the disease has shrunk.

I'm crossing fingers & hearts that you respond to the new combo as quickly.

Sending hugs~

Jessica
