Re: some people get all the luck-Not-

You put that so well. My original onc wanted to watch and wait and believed it didn't make any difference to the 2 year allocated time slot !
Fortunately thanks largely to you and others on this board I sought a second opinion from an onc at the top of his field. His response was so different and concentrated on keeping the disease load low and mopping up any cells still floating around. While he didn't make any promises what he did do was provide research based hope and a belief that if we stayed around there might just be a cure or at least long term strategy to manage this her 2 disease.
As you say her 2 is commanding a lot of research and soon I believe we will make further quantum jumps!

Hope springs eternal I believe.
