Im really flipping out. The doctors more or less yesterday said that my wife is about to die. They more or less said they are throwing the kitchen at the cancer. Her brain is building up fluid and were gonna hopefully have a solution for that today so that we can start intrathecal herceptin. along with that they want to give pretuzamed which is a large molecule. They think the brain barrier could be down because of the disease. They also said that the cancer is resilient to radiation and has now becoming resilient to chemo's The first thing we need to do is take care of the fluid backing up so that she can get intrathecal. The second question is im looking for a list of small molecule chemo's I can find one I always end up with the biologics. Im flipping my lid and cant imagine what life is without my wife and how my 3 little girls are gonna handle this.
