Re: ca.2729 big jump
My tm went up another 1000 pts since I wrote this post. I tell about that on another thread - doctor update. I have had 3 tx of radiation now to my left femur. Still on Halaven until radiation is done. Will have brain MRI & pet/ct scan on 8/15 & see the onc. again on 8/18. It will be a stressful week anticipating results and chemo options.
Many of you have asked about tdm-1 for me. There's nothing offered locally and there is no way I can afford plane/hotel to travel for treatment out of state.
The other drugs you mentioned - like pertuzamaub - I don't know if I'd qualify for trial. I will ask to have the research nurse check out if I qualify for any current studies here. I hear lots of talk about the targeted therapies coming soon - how soon is soon? Seems like soon is still years away!
Yes I have already been on tykerb twice. I do appreciate all of your suggestions and I will talk with onc. about them. Thank you.
