Re: Physicians have new resource for managing disease in patients with early-stage br

Hey Sister!!!

You are SPOT ON with soooo much you've said...with evidence...trials etc...

Agreed as to WHY hasn't a Herceptin trial for tumor size below .5 as an aggressive tumor...!!! At FIRST...(hmmm), I almost fell in that "stage"...then things went south...BUT, I'LL FIGHT BACK...I'M WINNING!!

Can you advise...this last 5th treatment has really been rough...my bones are soooo weak...etc...last treatment the 22nd...YESSS!!! What can I take to gain my strength back...???

Thanks sooooo very much... AS ALWAY!!! <3
