Hi Girls,
Forgive me for not updating this thread. I kicked up my heels for only eight months because a scan in Feb 2012 showed a return of tumor in my lungs. In a blink I was back on Herceptin. For me it works. CoolBreeze - I am fervently thinking of you and am filled with hope that T-DM1 will be your charm. You are bright and tenacious. Knowledge is power. I feel like you are heading toward a good long break.
Love and hugs,
Kim (from CT)
