Dear Sheila

I am sorry things aren't working right now. Consider returning to something that did in the past such as Taxol (or Taxotere) with Herceptin and Tykerb - will they do that combo or any combo with Herceptin and Tykerb together. Just thinking out loud on what can stabilize you until you can get TDM1 or a trial with something else.

You are one of the strongest women I have ever met and a true warrior. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
