Full of Beans,
It is wonderful to hear from you!!! It's been such a long time. Your post was a very inspirational reminder to keep plugging away and the right drug combo just might work.

I am about to begin Herceptin + Tykerb, so your post of good results is certainly encouraging. I definately need a boost of confidence, so thank you for posting.

Not so good about the sore bottom. But, as you've said...first things first. Glad Jessica could give you input on some ideas that worked for her.

Please keep us posted...don't be such a stranger. Lori
