Wink Re: ca.2729 big jump

I read something about Pertuzumab being successful with Herceptin and or Tykerb recently. I also heard the drug company is planning to apply for approval with the FDA for Pertuzumab very soon. it sounds like it might be approved before T DM1. I was also reading about Sagopilone with Imatinab for bone mets. You might want to talk to your doctor about those options. Also like the others mentioned can you apply for T DM1? I don't remember. Have you tried a Tykerb combination? I hope you don't mind, but I just thought I would give you some suggestions to think about and perhaps discuss with your doctor.
All the best to you Pam. You have a big cheering section of friends behind you. Count me in your cheering section !!!!!!!! Thinking of you and wishing good things for you.
