Re: Update - and uber-scanxiety!

Chrisy,
You are our pioneer in blazing successful trails for these new drug combos. Keeping my fingers crossed that this one is another silver bullet.

If this doesn't work magic, there are so many alternatives both old and new available. I am proof that good old friends such as Abraxanne can work its magic a 2nd time and with a very high quality of life.

Then we have Big P (can't spell it, certainly can't say it) coming in this summer.
+++ more in the pipeline.

I am sure your fantastic Drs. wil continue to seek the most innovative solutions available and you have the courage to give them a try.

This is going to work out for you!!!

Keeping the faith...Lori
