Re: metronomic chemo
Thank you for introducing me to a treatment I did not know about. For those of us who will be on treatment for the remainder of our lives, I like the approach of low dose frequently rather than a bomb like TDM-1 every three weeks. Twenty five years or so ago I met a lady from Florida who was in her 70s. She told me she had breast cancer and had been going for an infusion for the past 25 years. This was long before I was diagnosed and I didn't ask her what type of breast cancer she had or what she was taking. But we were having dinner and she ate and looked like a well woman. I have to assume now it was a low dose of something. Please keep us posted on what you find out about this approach. I am having a lot of problems with TDM-1 and suspect my days taking it are numbered.
As a side note, I don't think you would find that many trials in the U.S. for women in our situation. If there are, I am unaware of what the drug might be or where the trials are available.
