myocet/lapatinib trial
Has anyone had this drug? If (big if) my heart echo is ok, I will start on myocet/labatinib trial next week. has anyone done this? Am dreading scans etc, really have the feeling that bad things will be found. Doesnt help that I am undergoing radiotherapy to my back at the moment. I find it so painful on the bench and even worse getting up off it. Thank goodness for oxycontin! Also have to have gamma knife to brain met. Far too much going on, hard to stay positive but will persevere for another while. NED must be somewhere!!!!!!!!!!
