Jean, Maureen, Marcia, and Shobha,
I have a great doctor and she will be examining my options even closer at ASCO. She called me this morning to tell me that we will repeat the TM test next week and add in CTC blood work to my regular draws. In addition to her brilliance, I always tell her about the buz on the boards. She thoughtfully examines these ideas and we reach a conclusion together based on my history and profile. She is a leader in the treatment of young women with breast cancer.
All of that said, I really appreciate your kind words. There is no way around this difficult time. But I will remind everyone (I know that all of you "get it") when folks are down (aside from a cure) kind words of encouragement mean so much. I am reminded that this is true for all of the people who are down on their luck and not just cancer patients.
I am glad I have this place to come and express myself and get those words to help carry me along.
Carolyn
