Re: Update on Barb

Does anyone out there have any experience I can share with Barb regarding very nasty skin mets. Ive looked into the Washington State University Trial and were waiting to see where that gets us. The only down side is its clear across the country. PAULA I so appreciate your thread on fun free stuff theres a new entry that may help us fly there if it comes to that. They sound like Barbs mets may be to severe for the trial they are asking for pictures. Also is there any experience with fluid in and around the lung were looking into draining it she has a hard time getting comfortable when she sleeps.
