Re: Update on Barb

Barb has had from day one a large mass in her left breast. Her doctor felt that mast. would not help because it had already spread to her spine. In fact he felt he could monitor things better if we left it. She initially had radiation on the spot on her spine but has never had it anywhere else. The skin mets didnt appear till after she started the Taxol back in April of 2010 then reappeared this January.
