Re: I just hate this part of the whole thing....
Irene, I just wanted to cry hearing your news, but instead I'm so darn mad I could spit! You've done all the right things and then had to get off TDM1 cause of low whatevers and it just makes me so mad. But you're a warrior superstar and have a great team to work with and I think they'll find just the right awful mix that will torture those rotten new tumors.
I think you're wonderful and am praying and believing for ya! ma
