Crossing My Fingers On Mcc- Dm1 Study

[Mykentuckyhome]

If at first you dont succeed try, try again. I was so bummed with my first scans on the dmi study cause after the results came back I was out into the world of the unknown again. My scans came back after 9 weeks on navelbine and herceptin. They turned out excellent as 2 big spots on my liver were reduced by more than half, other spots vanished. I congradulate barb on her ned which we are all striving for. I also want others to know that even if one fails there is something else out there waiting to help you, so never, never give up.

Dear Kentucky -
I have been following all you brave souls who are out there in clinical trial land. What a joy to hear that you are doing well on the Navelbine/Herceptin combo.

Actually, I had those two drugs along with TAXOL. That was a tougher combo and naturally my hair went. Taxol is pretty stiff stuff, but it is generally synergistic with Herceptin.

These three drugs made it a 3-pronged attack on the cancer cells, with each working a little differently to kill the cells.

Sometimes the older drugs do the trick. May your next set of scans show even more damage to the cancer.

Steph thanks for that post cause we all can use the encouragement. Chrissy are you back on track yet with your study? I hope so as I know you were doing so well. I know that if another study came up to help I would try again.
