Re: Need optimism on TDM-1 please
Kristin, I must admit I felt a certain kinship to you since I first joined this board. We have such similar stories and I am hoping and praying that TDM1 is your magic drug, or at least keeps you stable for a long time. I also wanted to add that it looks like you are only battling bone mets? if so, I think bone mets are the 'least' serious of the mets and don't want you to lose faith.
