Re: attn: Rolepaul, Marvass et al Review article on IT herceptin stresses need 4 ClT

Darita, keep thinking positive. My daughter Susan is feeling much better now and thinking of getting a three wheeled bicycle to scoot around her neighborhood. She is a bit afraid of trying to do the two wheeled type she has as yet. She is feeling stronger and more herself the last few weeks. She had to do Depocyt once every three weeks for a while and that had bad side effects. The Herceptin was not able to do the therapy alone part of the first few weeks. Now she just gets the Herceptin 8o mg IT each week which seems to be therapeutic for her as she has lost a lot of weight. She has not had an MRI for a few weeks but she keeps feeling stronger each day.
On the whole body treatment the kadcyla was not working for her. They changed her to Abraxine and Herceptin. She gets the whole body treatment through her arm port. The only problem she seems to have right now is the enlarged clavicle lymph nodes. She will receive Nano Knife to that area next week.
No way to know about tomorrow but right now she is feeling great and looking forward to Christmas.
There is hope with the Herceptin so "keep truckin"
