Re: Australian Trish
Thank you everyone for your kind words. I am so touched you are thinking of me . I haven't been on the HER2 website so much lately as I have busied myself with other things. Despite my liver behaving badly I am still feeling well most of the time -with a bit of help from 1 mg of Dexamethosone a day-I have a love hate relationship with that drug but at this dose it is good for my energy if not for my sleep and I am not TOO much of a monster. I am having the most wonderful relaxing Christmas over here, full of family, friends and traditions in a very warm and balmy atmosphere. It probably would be a very strange atmosphere for those of you who have the delights of White Christmases but it is the kind of celebration we have grown to love. I don't really think there is any more treatment for me as my timing was exquisitely bad. Just as the THERESA trial arrived my liver function tests precluded me and I was going to have radiation spheres and chemo embolisation but I was about a couple of months too late for that and my bilirubin is rising. So objectively not looking good. But I feel well and happy so I'll just go where the path leads me but I won't stop putting pressure on my doctors to explore options. Thanks again to all of you and I hope you have much health in 2012.
Trish
