Hi. Thank you so much for your concern. I did start a new tx of navelbine, herceptin and tykerb, but the navelbine was a little harsh, so my dr. switched me to xeloda with the herceptin and the tykerb. I also visited the Burzynski clinic today which is a little pricey, but I am going to see what they can do. I have been extremely fatigued lately. Please update me on how everyone is doing. I am finding it hard to type, but will keep on trying.
