Re: Prayers are answered ~~~
My mind is made up, I am going for the T-DM1...now hope I can pass all the tests, Muga, Brain MRI, Bone Scan....I dreamed about T-DM1 last night.....how weird...I have my appt. Still gonna get Herceptin tomorrow, as I wont be able to start for 2 weeks on the trial.
Thanks to all of you, I feel like I am in a win win situation!

Re: Prayers are answered ~~~
Hi Sheila
I have been praying for you to get the right answer so was delighted to hear you had two options to chose from. I hope T-DM1 is the answer for you. All the posts suggest it's easier than chemo and very effective.
My onc has just told me that we finally have it in trials in England. Praise the Lord for that since the bean counters have rejected tykerb!!
Love and hugs
Ellie
