Re: Another update on triciaK
Count me in your corner Tricia. I am here cheering for you too. I think Abraxane is definitely something to consider along with either Herceptin or Tykerb. You might also want to put Halaven or a T DM1 clinical trial on your "to do list" if the Abraxane doesn't work for you.
Definitely hang in there. Genetech will apply to the FDA to get T DM1 approved for everyone who is her2 positive and who can benefit for it in 2012. I think it has a good chance of being approved fairly quickly after the application, because of all the positive news about it coming out.
I wonder if you might consider seeing an integrative medicine specialist, a dietician or a naturopathic physician to help you with the drug related side effects? They can be of great help in helping us cope with chemo related side effects.
You have a special place in my heart and are definitely one of my role models. I have a lot of respect for you. You are one great lady !!!!!!!! Hang in there and keep putting one foot in front of the other. Hugs !!!!!!!
