I love the Amazon analogy - it is so appropriate for you. I wish for you continue Amazonian strength and courage.
We'll be thinking of you.

Sending more good thoughts and prayers. Hoping it's a false alarm at this point. BB

Amazing people,
Lisa,
You and most people on this site are really amazing. I'm sure all your doctors go home after seeing you and think "Who are these people? Are they for real?". You are in my thoughts and prayers always.

Lisa,
I am hoping that this is somehow a false alarm for you. I know we all are hoping for the best, but at the same time, I know you will be gearing up to do whatever it takes if that's what is called for. Dodging these bullits does get old, but we have truly become elite warriors in this fight and I hope you can draw some strength from knowing we are with you.
Love, Kim in CA

Hi Lisa,
I read your post the other day and didn't know exactly what to say. But...
You are one of the veterans here on this board and I know in due time you will think this is just another hurdle you have to get through. I do agree that maybe Tykerb is a good thing to try due to it targetting Her1 and her2 receptors. I know Navelbine is also good for lung mets. I don't recall you being on that. Avastin and Herceptin may be worth a try also. Regardless, I am sending you lots of good thoughts and prayers.
Hugs,
Anne

Yes you were and I'll always love you for that. Lisa, we love you; you are awe inspiring and have courage that I can't even imagine. Linda drew so much stength from you and you deserve better than this! Think about Tricia's mind over matter thing and let's kick some ass!!!
Love,
