Re: Bad Scan

Tonya,
I am so sorry about your bad news...my heart goes out to you. This damned disease never stops giving it seems! I know this doesn't help...but I sure wish they would get T-DM1 out there for all of us to use...and now! Have you tried Herceptin/Tykerb yet? That is something Dr. Slamon talked to me about at one of my prior appts. That might be something to run by your onc. But there are lots of other choices too as you already know. I will keep good thoughts that whatever combo you choose it blows those cancer cells to smithereens.

Chelee
