Elaine,
I posted an update about Vickie not too long ago. She did break her hip in June. She was in the hospital for four wks and got to go home to a hospital bed they have set up for her in the front room. I'm sure they just let her hip heal since at this time they can't do any more for her. But she told me she was at home and comfortable. And as always she loves & misses us all. She didn't want anyone worrying about her. (That's our dear, sweet Vicky for you.)

As to the T-DM1...she did go out to a trial in Idaho I believe it was? I can't remember if TDM1 didn't work for her...or if they wouldn't allow her to stay in the trial due other medical issues. I've have to look that up? But she did try it..that much I do know. (If your out there and see this Vicky...sending you all my love!) Not a day goes by that I don't think of you.
