I keep reading this over and over and I think I am "beginning" to understand. You see, we all have mild to major brain damage on this sight so you have to keep it simple and repetitive.
If I can't understand, I lose all control of my treatment and my attitude. Fatalistic, etc.
NOw I do understand that because we are living longer now the cancer cells are moving to our brain. I wonder if somehow the her-2 cells are figuring out that they are safe there.
Also I wonder why someone would not respond to herceptin at all.
After a period of time on herceptin, why would someone have a relapse in the body organs? It seems to me if it works, it works all the time.
Is it possible that Chemo killed all the "master cells" and it is the best kept secret? Is there anyway to see a master cell on a PEt or something like that?
I am getting a headache and I don't think I need an MRI to know why!!!!
Thanks, Paul. We love the way you talk.....
