Welcome to our family, so glad you found us but sad that you had to. First off I was wondering if you could let us know a little more about yourself so others could help better.

Few things.....let no one tell you what your chances are (re:50/50), we break the rules and stats all the time.

Then I must say there is always hope, many new treatment regimes and combinations to try. I am not an expert but even when potentially failing with one drug does not mean it cannot be combined in another regime (although we try not to).

I will be taking your post and placing it in the MAIN FORUM so many can see it. We will try to get you the help you need and the answers you seek.

Wish I could ramble on a bit more but I have a headache and it gets hard on the old eyeballs.

Keep us posted with yourself, there are many wonderful people that will be helping and routing you on. Best of luck and we will speak soon, Cheryl.>>Believe51
