Cap, I'm so glad you had a minute to give us an update. Not a day goes by that I don't think of Vickie...she really is such a special Her2 sister. We all love & miss her so much.

When she first started this TDM1 trial it sounded like it was doing a good job. I hope the scan shows that it's been doing more then they think for Vicki? Maybe adding the perzatumab will to the trick & get her stable again. I just wish she didn't have to go thru any of this...my heart goes out to her.

I'm just so sorry to hear Vicki isn't feeling better. But I still have so much hope that they can turn this around. I sure hope she can get some food in her...I know how hard it can be during treatment. You guys have probably tried everything over the yrs of battling this...but has Vicki tried Ensure? It has to be "cold" though. That's the trick! It's just a thought.

I know you and the entire family are going through alot right now but we are so thankful for the updates. Tell Vicki she is always in my thoughts and prayers.

Sending a big hug for Vicki! God bless you all.
