Re: Update on Barb 12/28

Kim

I actually talked to Dr. Sklar at Precipio this afternoon. I had approached Barbs Onco with the the idea a couple of months ago when the TDM- didnt work. Her doctor felt that there wasnt much evidence it worked well for breast cancer and that it had been somewhat successful for other types. Dr. Sklar agreed but suggested Barbs Onco call and talk to Precipio about a breast panel and he also mentioned four mutations that could be identified. I have faxed all info to her Onco and am anxiously awaiting a response. For now we are waiting on insurance approval for another treatment he had in mind. She wasnt do for her next Haloven until next Tuesday but we felt we shouldnt wait until then.
