Hi there all, I'm sorry to say that I am out of the GW572016 trial that is so very promising. The CT I had last week showed increase in tumor size and it was enough of an increase to pull me out of the study. They feel the study drug is no longer helping.

I am Stage IV IBC HER2+, 35 yrs. old, DX @ 33 in May 2003, easier to say what drugs I haven't done because I've done just about all of them. Only two I haven't done are Navelbine and Gemzar.

I don't know what the doctors will do next, I meet with them next Wed.

Does anyone on here know of anyone in my position that has actually survived this wicked diagnosis. I keep going to sleep hoping I'll wake from this terrible nightmare and be able to raise my four children but; I wake and I'm still in the nightmare.

If anyone can shine the light at the end of the tunnel so that I may see it, please do. I hate to say I'm losing hope but I can fell it slipping away.

Blessings to all, Martha
