Re: Short stints on therapies for stage IV
Hang in the there! You are right that some CA is resistant quickly..it is smart little buggers....but there are so many options today. There will be a combination that is the perfect fighter! Stay on top of it and don't be afraid to switch quickly if it doesn't seem to be working! Are you able to seek out a TDM1 trial? I'll be praying for you and your sweet little one who needs his mommy!
